I signed up and tried to set up an app. My attempts were not successful. I never successfully deployed an app once. Yet I was being charged for database clusters that were not getting any operations on them. I had an abandoned attempt to use them and gave up only to have multiple charge attempts. I'm glad I secured my payments from actually going through which saved me from losing money.

Not stable. Definitely not production ready. Moved first app to Vercel and about to move the second one. So many deployment errors, random 500 happening on their own admin dashboard. Random unexplained delays when deploying etc..

I subscribed to this service to deploy my Remix app and paid $15 for half a month of support. Unfortunately, the support I received was ineffective, so I canceled my subscription and deleted my account. However, two days later, I was charged an additional $29 for email support that I didn’t request. In total, I’ve spent $45-46 and wasted three days trying to deploy my app with no useful assistance. I’m very dissatisfied with the service and would like a refund for the extra charges. Update: Customer service has been refunded unexpected charges - because of that updating stars from one to two stars.

I give the second star just to thank the good customer service that refunded the surprise charges. I am a beginner developer but I still understand that if you make a free plan, you don't add surprise charges out of nowhere!! You warn the user that this is something you need to pay. But there was no warning, nothing. You might use fly.io if you know the pitfalls but I strongly suggest all the beginners to stay far away from this site!!!

I want to love fly.io. We have a contender with a useful free tier again after Heroku (understandably I guess) got rid of it. The http response latency is really, really good. But the first day I hit problems with my servers not deploying that looking at their support site affected a lot of other users and ended up being platform issues. Other customers are complaining that they changed defaults from dedicated to shared IP addresses, breaking their deployments and losing them business. I'm unable to deploy my application again today (twice in 3 days!), with others in the forums failing to diagnose the same issue (the error messages are useless). One of them had "bricked their organisation" by deleting a builder while trying to fix it. At that point I gave up- I hadn't invested enough for it to be hassles moving. I sincerely hope things improve and this is just a rocky moment in their growth, but I'd suggest checking the recent posts in their support forums to confirm things have changed.
