I migrated a previous company's infrastructure from AWS to Fly.io
Our AWS bill was the main reason. It was far higher than it should have been for the traffic we were serving. Even after we'd halved our AWS bill (the original bills had been crazy), it was still kinda high
Fly was a pretty clear choice when we looked at the lower costs and ease of transitioning from single-region to multi-region infrastructure
I'd been nudging the CEO about doing a migration for about a year before we decided to make the move. When I found that I couldn't really get our AWS costs any lower and did a full cost estimate of Fly vs AWS, the wheels moved reasonably quickly
The CEO primarily cared about lowering our monthly costs and being able to do the migration reasonably quickly (~1 month)
