fly.io feature set and dx is great

• danjac 4y ago
  fly.io looks OK feature-wise, but requires a credit card to do anything and there's no indication of how you can accidently exceed the free tier. That's a dealbreaker for me - I want to evaluate some PAAS offerings for a company, but it's a hassle to get authorization to use a company credit card, especially when I just want to kick the tyres. Heroku, Render, Railway and most others let you at least run a toy app without needing a credit card, fly.io is doing themselves a disservice here.

    Or they're separating themselves with their value proposition.

      Maybe, but still it means I'll just pass on fly.io and go with render. Their feature set is not that compelling that I'll want to jump through hoops to get company authorization or have to deal with expenses to use my own card.
