Fly.io
About Fly.io
Fly.io runs your containers close to users worldwide, which helps when latency across regions matters more than a single US region. You still ship Docker images; Fly handles placement and Anycast networking.
Pricing mixes machine sizes and allowances, so the “from” price in directories can look tiny next to a multi-region production bill. Use IndieSheet’s tracked starting figure as a floor, then model machines for your real regions.
Best for
Apps that need multi-region proximity (games tools, games, APIs) without running your own fleet.
Pricing angle
Directory starting price is around $1.94/mo for minimal machines — real apps scale with CPU/RAM and regions.
Watch out
Multi-region replicas multiply cost quickly; start in one region until latency metrics demand more.
