I don't think I'd enjoy managing my own single-node Kubernetes deployment, monitoring, upgrades etc., but some might! The other point that I didn't really cover in this article was all the monitoring goodies you get for free with Fly; definitely not something to be overlooked as a solo dev. The medium-term plan is to move the database to Fly as well, but I wanted to share a way for people to do a partial migration to Fly if they are not quite ready for a full database migration. As for using a Procfile manager being a "hack", once we are freed from the constraints of Docker containers and back in the realm of VMs, I think running multiple processes again becomes the norm. I don't quite agree with the "one machine (or machine-like abstraction) => one process" thinking in this regard.
