I currently rent AMD 16 core server with 128GB RAM and 2x2TB NVME drives for around $100 / month from Hetzner. Price for equivalent hardware on Fly (without mentioning drives) is $1,126 / month.
- maeln 4y agoWell yes of course. But then you have to manage everything yourself. The whole purpose of fly.io, heroku, raleway, etc, is that you don't have to care (much) about ops & sec. Handling it yourself (or hiring someone to do it) can cost way more than 1000$/m. When you grow big enough it might not be worth it anymore, but for smaller project, it can be really useful. And for the record, at the moment, I host most of my service on my own server.
- nurettin 4y agoThis response would have made more sense if fly.io provided fully managed db services.
- vincentkriek 4y agoBut what would it cost to run what you are actually using?
