What it is
Fly.io is a platform for running full-stack apps and databases close to users globally. It deploys Docker containers as fast micro-VMs across 30+ regions, with built-in anycast networking, Postgres, and Redis. Designed for apps that need low latency at a global scale.
When it fits — and when it doesn’t
A good fit for
Developers needing global deployment, low-latency APIs, or running full-stack apps with persistent storage near users
Look elsewhere if
Teams that don't need multi-region deployment or prefer simpler Git-push workflows
