The try / repeat pattern inevitably needs to do a full round trip multiple times in different regions.

What would be awesome to have is something like this but built on top of envoy postgres proxy or similar where it would know where to send the query to based on the table + column value / pk. But one then rebuilds Yugabyte.

That sounds like sharding, which Postgres supports already.

It does, doesn’t it? Every database can be sharded. But you have to do it yourself. This is how it works in Yugabyte: https://docs.yugabyte.com/latest/explore/multi-region-deploy....
