I have had my Railway app online till date without any major downtimes too. I recommend anyone looking for a decent replacement to try them.
Personal experience between Fly.io and Railway.com - Railway wins for me hands down. I have used both and the Railways support is stellar too, in comparison. Fly.io never responded to my query about data deletion till date. Despite emailing on their support email. I have had my Railway app online till date without any major downtimes too.

On that Consul outage, Fly Infra concludes, "The moral of the story is, no more half-measures." On their careers page [1], the Fly team goes, "We're not big believers in tech debt."

No one actually lives up to their principles, but it's still important that we have them. If you actually do live up to yours, then you need to adopt better principles.
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!
Looks like it lasted 16 minutes for them.

Would be fascinated to see your data over a period of months. Application up time is flakey, but what was worse were fly deploys failing for no clear reason. Sometimes layers would just hang and eventually fail for no particular reason; I'd run the same command an hour or two later without any changes and it would just work as expected. I'd love to make a monitoring service to deploy a basic app (i.e. run the fly dep…

What do "Freezes" mean? Like, do you stop renewing your certificates? Do you stop taking in security updates for your software? Sure maybe "unnecessary" changes, but the line gets very gray very fast.
Certs shouldn't still be done by hand that this point; if another heartbleed comes out in the next 7 days then the risk can be examined, escalated, and the CISO can overrule the freeze. If it's a patch for remote root via Bluetooth drivers on a server that has no Bluetooth hardware, it's gonna wait. you're right that there's a grey line, but crossing that line involves waking up several people and the on call person…

It's still 99.99+% SLA? Would you really pay 100% more for <0.01% more uptime?
I think what a lot of people fail to understand is that there are certain categories of apps that simply “can never go down” Examples include basically any PaaS, IaaS, or any company that provides a mission-critical service to another company (B2B SaaS). If you run a basic B2C CRUD app, maybe it’s not a big deal if you service goes down for 5 minutes. Unfortunately there are quite a few categories of companies where…
Meaning empirically, downtime seems to be tolerated by their customers up to some point?

fly.io publishes their post-mortems here: https://fly.io/infra-log/ The last post-mortem they wrote is very interesting and full of details. Basically back in 2016 the heart or keystone component of fly.io production infrastructure was called consul, which is a highly secure TLS server that tracks shared state and it requires that both the server certificate and the client certificate be authenticated. Since it was c…
