I am trying to understand what you offer, compared to AWS. Does it kind of substitute the combination of API Gateway + CloudFront + Certificate Manager ?
I have some Lambda funcs running and just today starting looking into this AWS combination to access Lambda from the outside world. So I wonder if Fly would do the same.
If its the same then it certainly is simpler to set up. And might be cheaper as well, but the pricing of AWS is unclear as always (meaning always having some unexpected aspects).
- mrkurt 9y agoFly is a good alternative to API Gateway + Cloudfront + Certificate Manager. We can invoke lambda functions directly. And yes, AWS pricing is a monstrous headache. I'm really not sure if we're cheaper at scale, but we're easy to predict at the very least (and the first 2 million requests are free).
- Gys 9y agoOk thanks. Might be good to mention comparable AWS services (and maybe others) in your faq. Its only because of this being on HN that I gave it more then a few seconds of consideration ;-) If I ran into it by accident I might have missed the essence.
