Reliability: It’s not great

I've been using Fly for over two years or so. The sentiment of this post doesn't align with my personal (anecdotal) experience.

The PG issues hit me two times in the previous weeks but other than that it's been working great for me.

With the move to v2 apps (using their new machines infra) things are actually faster and smoother than ever.

About a year or so ago their CLI was quite buggy but I haven't really hit any bugs in months.

I will remain with Fly for the time being. Hopefully they don't close shop!

We're nowhere even within the line of sight of closing up shop. We just haven't been doing a good job of aggressively communicating (a) when things go wrong and (b) what we're doing to account for it.

The Fly.io of 2023 looks almost nothing like that of 2021 (all for the better), and it's not obvious to our users what's changed. We've been doing a shitty job of communicating, and we're taking our licks for it now.

A lot can happen in 11 years :-)

And thanks a lot for fly.io -- it's working great for my (rather small) use cases.
