There’s always Internet search. Mention as many key phrases as you see fit. For example:
> Fully managed cloud service for highly available, fault tolerant, Postgres-compatible distributed SQL database
Look at my email address. That outfit is among the hits. So full disclosure is done. But, as they say, “other services
areavailable”. So I don’t think that my suggested search string is inappropriate for a list like this.
