I use Fly.io, it’s not serverless at all, it’s a PaaS that manages your servers for you via its own automations and cli. Fly also already supports postgres (I use this too) so I’m not sure why I would use this? To me the whole point of Fly is minimal work :)
- wolletd 2y agoWhen you say it like that, nothing really is serverless. Everything is running on some computer. Serverless architectures are provided by servers.
- davedx 2y agoServerless is like AWS lambda, when you don’t have an explicitly running VM that you pay per time; instead your code is run in “a cloud” and you pay per invocation. This is nothing new! “Serverless” is well defined and understood for years and years!
