I've been a long-time Cloudflare user, but sometimes I just want a global load balancer without the lock-in and with full configuration control (e.g., some Cloudflare rules require an enterprise plan).

I love Caddy for its easy configuration, and that's why I created Novnaode. It makes it easy to launch hosted Caddy instances (with Nginx coming soon) and puts you fully in control of how to manage the configurations.

No more being restricted by enterprise tiers or limited configuration options - just simple, powerful, and flexible global load balancing.

We at DollarDeploy building a platform to deploy apps to your own VPS. For now we just run it on one server, but plan to use DigitalOcean and Hetzner load balancer offering to offer workload scaling beyond one server.

Why did you choose fly.io? The traffic there are very expensive which is an issue for people who would want to run LB.
