| ### Databases | ||
|
|
||
| Databases? We offer [Fly Postgres](/docs/postgres/). The original offering is not a managed service like RDS—you manage backups, upgrades, and failovers—but creation is automated and it's tightly integrated with Fly.io networking. Other database options include managed Redis from our partner Upstash, running your own Redis or Valkey, distributed SQLite via LiteFS, or vector DBs like LanceDB with Tigris. |

Did we want to mention Fly MPG here as well? Or is that out of scope for this doc / are we not saying anything because it's not fully GA yet?

Yes, out of scope, will add when it's GA (I removed the MPG mention after @Roadmaster reviewed the draft).

| ### In a nutshell | ||
|
|
||
| AWS is a sprawling platform with deep abstractions. Fly.io strips a lot of that away. You get rawer access to your infra and better latency for your users, but you might trade some convenience. Migration is generally less about translating concepts and more about rethinking how your app is built and deployed. |

I didn't know "rawer" was a word 😆
