The reviews

For apps that need full server control — WebSocket servers, background workers, AI inference — Fly.io gives you the flexibility that serverless platforms don't.

Helpful?

The DX has improved massively but it's still more complex than Vercel. You need to understand Docker and infrastructure. Not for beginners.

Helpful?

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.
