May be wrong, but they seem to be very focused on interesting stacks like Elixir and RoR while building on Go/Rust. The corollary being neglect of the bread/butter stacks with high market share, like Python and Java/JavaScript. Don't think I've seen a blog post discussing those three beyond a passing mention? Not the end of the world, but mildly disappointing. At least they are all in with Postgres and Linux, a great foundation.

I thought the only thing their tech stack was all in on was docker images being rewritten to run on firecracker as a substrate. is it not agnostic about things like Elixir etc, at the tech level, though they've got super nice documentation for those tools you mentioned?

  What's necessary to change for them to run on Firecracker?

    Here's a post explaining how they do it https://fly.io/blog/docker-without-docker/ https://fly.io/blog/docker-without-docker/

      Yeah, saw that before. I thought he was saying you have to change your Dockerfiles to use them with fly.io. Just misinterpreted that sentence.

You can use any Docker image.

I don't disagree with you, but they tweeted > We’ll readily admit our docs still have a Django-shaped hole in them. https://twitter.com/flydotio/status/1578039196618575874?t=nudTtrPJKotygYa9f0F87A&s=19 https://twitter.com/flydotio/status/1578039196618575874?t=nu...
