I was applying for a infra role and they asked me to setup an app and ELK stack in nomad on fly.io... I don't think their target market has infrastructure people and it just feels like Russian dolls.
- detaro 4y agoI don't get the problem. If you applied for an infra role, you are clearly not representing their target market, but they want you to show an infra thing on some VMs. And it makes sense for them to let you run those VMs on their platform, where they can easily pay for it?
- aosmith 4y agoFly is a no infra platform like heroku. It's like being asked to setup k8s on heroku.

- tptacek 4y agoYes, I'd imagine it is like that. You were applying to work on Fly.io's infrastructure, not to be its customer. :)
- quickthrower2 4y agoBest possible interpretation if your comment is you are baffled that they asked you to use fly.io to run Nomad instead of say something “lower level” like AWS EC2 or bare metal. Had they asked the latter you would be more enthusiastic?
