What is Fly.io?

Fly.io is a platform as a service (PaaS) designed specifically for deploying and running modern web applications. It handles all infrastructure, dependencies, routing, and scaling automatically, allowing developers to focus solely on building their applications rather than managing servers.

Some key features of Fly.io include:

• Global edge network - Fly deploys applications on a global edge network across multiple regions, bringing content closer to users.
• Auto scaling - Applications scale up and down automatically based on traffic demands.
• Built-in routing - Fly handles routing requests to the appropriate services and regions.
• Deployment pipelines - Developers can set up CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployments.
• App isolation - Each application runs isolated in its own container-based environment.

Fly.io markets itself as a platform that takes care of the complex infrastructure so developers can concentrate on rapidly developing, deploying and iterating their applications. The automatic scaling and global edge network makes it well-suited for latency-sensitive web and mobile applications.
