For instance this is a python flask app, it uses an sqlite DB, but I wouldn't really call it dynamic nor needing state because the DB is read only (gets updated daily from an authoritative source, but a website user can only search the db). It costs about $3.50 a month, but could be less because I have two instances at the ready (although only one is ever active/up).
But if you start needing state or persistence on an instance down/up I'd probably not go with Fly myself personally..
But I think it fits the bill perfectly for like that sort of in-between static and true dynamic. Eg not exactly static (for truly static I'd just use shared hosting or CF Pages, etc, et al), but not really truly dynamic either or needing state. That's sort of the sweet spot in my view. Package up your flask or fastapi or FastHTML into a Dockerfile, send to fly, easy peasy, love it.
I can't wait to play around with FastHTML and fly btw, haven't done so yet.. also would like to play around with a Datasette DB instance on fly..
