Reviewer scorecard
“Serverless-specific observability that understood Lambda, Workers, and Vercel. Now part of Cloudflare's platform.”
“For apps that need full server control — WebSocket servers, background workers, AI inference — Fly.io gives you the flexibility that serverless platforms don't.”
“The acquisition validates the approach. Serverless needs purpose-built observability, not adapted APM tools.”
“The DX has improved massively but it's still more complex than Vercel. You need to understand Docker and infrastructure. Not for beginners.”
“Observability built into the platform (Cloudflare, Vercel) rather than bolted on is the right direction.”
“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.”
