Man, I just wish they'd work on stability. Fly.io is an amazing offering. But it's so buggy, it's almost more headache than it's worth trying to build PaaS-flavored software on it. Even the Fly docs are "buggy" since they mostly transitioned to v2 Machines but the docs are still a mix of Nomad and Machines.
There's so much power on the platform with Flycast, LiteFS and other clever ways to work with containers. If it was 90% stable I'd consider it a huge win.
- rozenmd 3y agoI agree - I find if you pick the "mainstream" regions like IAD you get close to 100% uptime, like what you see from my 3rd-party status page here: https://flyio.onlineornot.com/ https://flyio.onlineornot.com/ Once you start deploying in SIN/CDG etc you start to get really weird instability (and this is on v2 machines).
- JCharante 3y agoOne of fly's main features is global distribution so it's kinda silly if you have to avoid SIN and CDG
- loloquwowndueo 3y agoYou can use hkg and ams instead :)
- ricketycricket 3y agoI haven't been able to bring up a clustered Elixir server in hkg without experiencing netsplits every 5-10 minutes. ewr, ord, and cdg have been totally reliable.
