Look into the capabilities of what I consider the leading edge of open source RDBMS managed solutions, Yugabyte: https://www.yugabyte.com

And tell me how easily you can achieve this "out of the box"

If you don't care about business continuity or high availability then everything gets easier

> And neither MySQL or Postgres ever seem to go down, they're super reliable and stable

The box they're on goes down

So? Not everyone needs 99.999999% availability.

The vast majority of products with paying customers need better availability than “database went down on Friday and I was AFK until Monday, sorry for the 3 day downtime everyone”

  If you're offering a hosted service, I've got bad news for you.
  Serverless, managed databases and even multicloud won't save you. You'll still have to be on call.
  Don't want to be on call? Design your stuff so it works local first.

  Local first stuff can also break, so that's not a foolproof plan.
