Fly.io

Global microVMs / edge containers

PaidHosting, deploy & edgefly.io

What it is

Runs Firecracker microVMs of your Docker image across 35+ regions with anycast routing, private WireGuard networking and Machines that auto-stop and auto-start per request. Billing is per second on provisioned resources, and new organizations no longer receive the legacy free allowances.

Why it earns a slot

Puts your app physically near users worldwide without touching Kubernetes, and idle machines scale to zero so a side project runs for a couple of dollars a month. Postgres and Redis live in the same private network.

Know before you commit

Volumes and stopped-machine rootfs keep billing when the app is off — orphaned volumes are the classic surprise line item. India egress is $0.12/GB, 6x North America. There is no hard spend cap; watch the dashboard and delete unused apps properly.
