Reviewer scorecard
“If you need distributed AI compute, Ray + Anyscale is the standard. Training and serving at any scale.”
“For apps that need full server control — WebSocket servers, background workers, AI inference — Fly.io gives you the flexibility that serverless platforms don't.”
“Most teams don't need distributed compute. Cloud provider GPU instances handle 90% of fine-tuning needs.”
“The DX has improved massively but it's still more complex than Vercel. You need to understand Docker and infrastructure. Not for beginners.”
“Ray is becoming the distributed computing standard for AI. Anyscale manages the hard parts.”
“Fly.io is the answer for workloads that don't fit the serverless model. As AI inference goes local-first, having servers in 30+ regions matters.”
