Fly.io: The reclaimer of Heroku's magic

I don't get this obsession with running a lot of vendor specific tooling on a laptop. Don't people use CI/CD? The only place that will ever deploy anything to anywhere is CI in my setups. And only after the tests pass.

I see this over and over again where the first step of using something supposedly user friendly is to install a lot of command line cruft on your snow flake laptop. It only goes downhill from there. Great for amateurs but usually left as an exercise for the reader to beat some sense into bad practices like deploying things from a laptop.

IMHO it should start from the other end and actually provide you with a sane CI/CD pipeline out of the box. Google cloud run does this right. You just give it a repository url and it sets up the rest. I used that two years ago and I was up and running in about 2 minutes. Every commit to master went live. CI/CD out of the box. No magical incantations on the command-line. Just develop as you do normally. Zero fuss.
