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.”
“AI inference at the edge with Workers integration. Low latency and the free tier is useful for prototyping.”
“The DX has improved massively but it's still more complex than Vercel. You need to understand Docker and infrastructure. Not for beginners.”
“Edge inference reduces latency for global users. The integration with Workers and other Cloudflare services is seamless.”
“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.”
“Edge AI inference will be standard for latency-sensitive applications. Cloudflare's network provides unique distribution.”
