Migrating from AWS to Fly.io
Fly Postgres is just a Fly.io app. You can see the source code for it right here:
https://github.com/fly-apps/postgres-ha
It has some direct `flyctl` integration (which is also open source), but it's not doing anything you can't do yourself if you want.

Fly.io – Free Postgres Databases (and free storage volumes, up to 3GB total)
We do not! You have full administrative access to your postgres. You can create offsite replicas, or even fork the Postgres app we use and deploy over your Fly.io installed postgres: https://github.com/fly-apps/postgres-ha
RDS preventing external streaming replicas is the most annoying thing ever.

AWS Global Accelerator is really fast and good
Our Postgres is not an RDS replacement. Lots of devs use RDS with Fly. In fact, Postgres on Fly is just a normal Fly app: https://github.com/fly-apps/postgres-ha
Ultimately, we think devs are better off if managed database services come from companies who specialize in those DBs. First party managed DBs trend towards mediocre, all the interesting Postgres features come from Heroku/Crunchy/Timescale/Supabase.
So we're "saving" managed Postgres for one of those folks. For the most part, they're more interested in giving AWS money because very large potential customers do. At some point, though, we'll be big enough to be attractive to DB companies.
-
Globally Distributed Postgres
Our postgres clusters are just a Fly app: https://github.com/fly-apps/postgres-ha
You could run your own PG by modifying that app. Right now we're calling it "automated" and not managed, though. All alerts about health and other issues go straight to customers, we don't have DBAs that will touch these things yet.

Migrating from AWS to Fly.io
I've been trying fly machines with terraform and running into one bug after another: https://github.com/fly-apps/terraform-provider-fly/issues/12... https://github.com/fly-apps/terraform-provider-fly/issues/12... https://github.com/fly-apps/terraform-provider-fly/issues/12...
I was really excited since fly seems dead simple, but I haven't gotten it running yet...
What are some alternatives?

tikv - Distributed transactional key-value database, originally created to complement TiDB
Filestash - 🦄 A modern web client for SFTP, S3, FTP, WebDAV, Git, Minio, LDAP, CalDAV, CardDAV, Mysql, Backblaze, ...
flyctl - Command line tools for fly.io services
apprunner-roadmap - This is the public roadmap for AWS App Runner.
fly-ruby - Ruby gem for handling requests within a Fly.io multiregion database setup
