Yep...can confirm my self hosted Bitwarden there is completely FUBAR connection wise even if it is in EA, so it should be a worldwide outage...lemme guess, some internal tooling error, consensus split brain, or if it looks like someone leaked BGP routes again?

This is probably 5th or 6th major outage from Fly.io that I have personally seen. Pretty sure there were many others and some just went unnoticed. I recommended the service to a friend, and within two days he faced two outages. Fly.io seriously needs to get it together. Why it hasn’t happened yet is a mystery to me. They have a good product but stability needs to be an absolute top for a hosting service. Everything e…

Does anyone use them beyond the free tier? Same with Vercel for example.

Vercel has revenue of over $100M. So yes at least a few companies use them beyond the free tier.

Might be! Shameless plug of a DNS tool i wrote years ago for anyone this pushes to learn more about DNS

I was considering these guys the other day until I saw their pricing page: https://fly.io/pricing/ (There's not a single price on there, why even create the page?)

There's a link to what appears to be the actual pricing page https://fly.io/docs/about/pricing/

There's also a link to the pricing calculator https://fly.io/calculator

fly.io just has the weirdest outages. It has issues so regularly we dont even need to run mock outages to make sure our system fail overs work.

In fairness to the fly.io folks (who are extremely serious hackers), they’re standing up a whole cloud provider and they’ve priced it attractively and they’re much customer-friendlier than most alternatives.

I don’t envy the difficulty of doing this, but I’m quite confident they’ll iron the bugs out.

My fly.io-hosted website went down for 5 minutes (6 hours ago), but then came right back up, and has been up ever since. I use a free monitoring service that checks it every 5 minutes, so it's possible it missed another short bit of downtime. But fly.io has been pretty reliable overall for me!

Kinda funny that they've named their global state store "Corrosion"... not really a word I'd associate with stability and persistence.

It's an internal project based on Rust, not a product. So I don't think it matters too much what they name it. It's opens source which is great, but still not a product that they need to market.
