I have two extremely tiny sites (like, "handful of users/1 user" sites) on Fly. I have had multiple incidents despite me not even touching them.

The thing that worries me about these incidents is they haven't been, like, full service outages. A small subset of users talking about issues in forums. This makes me just feel like Fly has an immense amount of issues.

At least if like 50% of fly goes down then it feels like a config fat finger. When it's a bunch of tiny issues now all my ops debugging has to start with going to the fly forums (and it's _always been issues on fly's side_).

The price is "right" (though like with all PaaS the gaslighting about running multiple processes in one container makes me feel bad about the state of cloud computing). And I really like the CLI stuff mostly! But I extremely don't care about edge computing so for me fly is just heroku and I would love to feel more confident on that end.

(EDIT: the nice thing is I get email support with a bit of cash. This is a thing that will go away when they get bigger but it's here while things are still breaking often)
