I tried to go the litestream route on Fly.io, but there is too much that needs to be done to get it working. Specifically I was hoping scaling would be a lot easier, but master election kept breaking for me causing the whole app to not be able to come online. I just moved to Fly's managed postgres and called it a day.

Their managed postgres has gotten better, but its still a little sparse, so after about 6 months using it I am going to just take my DB to either Supabase or Planetscale.

Yeah, something that’s messed up that they don’t think is messed up is running `fly console` fires up another instance, which isn’t attached to the same volume, so you have to run `fly ssh console —pty`

It’s certainly not intuitive. It would be awesome if they sweat these details, but their deal is “here’s a bag of sharp knives”, which is good for some use cases.
