Reviewer scorecard
“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 API is clean, the React Email integration is brilliant, and deliverability is excellent. Replaced SendGrid in 20 minutes and never looked back.”
“The DX has improved massively but it's still more complex than Vercel. You need to understand Docker and infrastructure. Not for beginners.”
“Young company with a smaller scale than SendGrid or Postmark. But the developer experience is so much better that it's worth the risk for startups. Monitor deliverability closely.”
“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.”
“Building beautiful transactional emails used to be painful. React Email components make it feel like building a web page. Game changer for my client projects.”
