devil's advocate :
ok. I went to fly.io.
here's what it says.
"Deploy App Servers
Close to Your Users
Run your full stack apps (and databases!) all over the world. No ops required. "
Now, what does that mean?
- fastball 4y agoIt means they're a PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service), but instead of hosting your webapp on one VPS in a Frankfurt datacenter, they replicate your webapp (and databases!) all over the world so that latency is as low as possible for your end users and there is not one SPoF (Single Point of Failure).
- indigodaddy 4y agoSo they sense if your docker thingy has a db (could be any flavor of db?), and they figure out db replication across all the “edge nodes/firecracker thingies” thru deploy for your app?
