Given the news of PlanetScale dumping the free hobby tier next month, and that their cheapest paid tier is a whopping $40/mo, I am curious is anyone has any good recommendations for a managed MySQL host that works well with Fly and is more affordable. I don’t mind paying a nominal amount (around $10-$15/mo) but that’d about be all that makes sense for me and my app.
Aiven.io has a couple of managed MySQL plans available at $19/mo. They’d have to run on Digital Ocean or GCP. You can get an idea about per-region latency to GCP regions here.
