You're right. We've been on Fly.io for 6 months[1] and it's been nothing but pain. ~10 years ago I took a start-up off an EC2 distributed set-up and moved them to a simple Dokku & Linode single VPS infra (plus separate staging env - https://github.com/glassechidna/dokku-graduate https://github.com/glassechidna/dokku-graduate). Most content was served from S3 via a CDN, so workload was light. That simple VPS set up was super reliable and served us well for over 5 years. We eventually outgrew the infra and deployed a K8s cluster (on AWS). I left a short while after we were acquired, but I believe the K8s infra is holding strong. Unfortunately, this latest generation of PaaS really aren't living up to expectations. [1] We're using so little infra at present that we're within their free usage tier. However, I want to clarify that this isn't because we aren't willing to pay, we specifically want to pay for reliable managed offerings. That's actually the entire point! If Fly.io can deliver on their vision, we'd gladly be billed at 100x the current usage rates.
