> personally i like the idea of per-tenant databases with something like this to scale out for each tenant.

So do I. And that type of architecture has come up a few times now in this comment thread. Given that Fly has the lead developer of the Phoenix web framework on staff, maybe it would make sense for him to work on integrating this type of architecture, with Litestream-based replication and the ability to have different master regions for different tenants, into Phoenix.

Not sure that would make sense. Phoenix uses the Erlang OTP platform, which ships with its own distributed database, Mnesia: https://www.erlang.org/doc/man/mnesia.html

Phoenix apps don't typically use Mnesia; they use a relational database through Ecto [1].

In practice, Phoenix apps tend to be using Ecto and a mainstream database.
