I wonder if this is a response to Amazon Lightsail[1] now offering managed database?

Hi there! I lead products at DO and we've had DBaaS on our roadmap for some time now.

Any chance someone could fast-track an inclusion for me of both the k8s and managed db solutions?

I'm leading a team that is _literally_ days away from provisioning a cluster for an existing production SaaS application that's currently on DO vm's. Would prefer to stay with DO..

My email is in profile - happy to answer any questions.

Hey there! DO Kubernetes PM here.

I just added you so you have access to the product. I will reach out to the PM on DBaaS as well.

Thank you!

hey there, shiv here from DO. I will get you in both programs asap.

Considering it was announced at least as far back as August[0], I highly doubt it.
