Prompt
I'm unhappy with Fly.io because I want easier database management
Latest observation
If easier database management is the main pain point, it makes sense to look beyond Fly.io. Fly is great for flexible app hosting, but it can feel more “infra-y” than platforms that bundle deployment and database ops together.
Some options that are usually easier for databases:
- Render — simple app + managed Postgres, straightforward backups, easy dashboards.
- Railway — very developer-friendly, quick setup, nice UX for databases and services.
- Heroku — still one of the easiest for managed Postgres, though pricier.
- Supabase — great if your app can use Postgres as a core part of the stack; includes auth/storage too.
- Neon / Crunchy Bridge / Aiven — if you want managed Postgres without managing the app platform too much.
A useful way to decide:
- If you want the least ops: Heroku or Render
- If you want fast setup and good DX: Railway
- If you want Postgres-first / modern stack: Supabase or Neon
- If you want more control but still managed DB: Aiven or Crunchy Bridge
If you want, I can help you compare Fly.io vs Render vs Railway vs Heroku specifically for:
- ease of database management,
- pricing, or
- how hard migration would be from your current setup.
