Fly.io is excellent for testing, small personal projects, and similar, but it's NOT for production!!!
Instances can silently fail anytime, and sometimes there are no easy ways to recover. Once I had to go through the process of updating domain DNS to point to the new instance.
- shp0ngle 4y agoThat’s what I get from reading all these comments here.
- Existenceblinks 4y agoI was about to demo my app to someone and quite shock that my app was down. Though, it's super easy to restart with a single fly command.
- mrkurt 4y agoI am so confused about what you're describing here. Apps get static IPs, at no point would you need to make a DNS change to route traffic to a new instance. VMs can definitely fail silently. When apps fail, we're not very good at notifying you of what's going on. I'm hoping that improves this year.
- ihti_ 4y agoMy domain DNS records were pointed to the Fly app IP. When the app silently died, and support wasn't able to help they suggested me to launch a new app which meant new IP for DNS.
