Who is this best for?
This is the fastest way to decide whether Fly.io is in the right neighborhood.
Best for
- Apps where latency and multi-region presence matter
- Teams that want a platform abstraction over raw VMs
- Products that need global placement but don’t want to build a multi-region platform from scratch
- Teams comfortable validating platform constraints against their architecture
Who should avoid
- You need full VM-level control and enterprise governance patterns
- Your networking/runtime needs don’t fit the platform model
- Different operational model than hyperscaler primitives; learning curve
