fly.io's been a little under my radar but are they the new DigitalOcean or something?

  Depends on what you use DigitalOcean for. Fly historically provided a network of edge serving and some compute, and has recently taken in a monster pile of Heroku free tier (and partial free tier) refugees, whose needs don't really align with their original core business. I've not been following much, but it seems like they're in a transitory period. For what it's worth, "lots of new interested customers" is nowhere near the top of the list of Bad Problems To Have In Business, I think, so they're probably fine medium term. Just the growing pains and possibly unwanted pivoting -- and monetizing the freebies -- might be an issue for a bit.

  I’d categorize fly as more akin to Heroku or Render than DigitalOcean.
