Another good reason to avoid that platform like the plague.

#142They have Status page and don’t reflect host issues there. I’m sure, they didn’t understand what Status page was created for. And don’t respect users. Go away from Fly, if you respect yourself.

#143There is now a response to the support thread from Fly[1]: > Hi Folks, > Just wanted to provide some more details on what happened here, both with the thread and the host issue. > The radio silence in this thread wasn’t intentional, and I’m sorry if it seemed that way. While we check the forum regularly, sometimes topics get missed. Unfortunately this thread one slipped by us until today, when someone saw it and flag…
> We strongly recommend running multiple instances to mitigate the impact of single-host failures like this.
Make it impossible not to do so, and make it frictionless then.

I wish I could say the same. My ISP and DO have absolutely terrible peering, unfortunately a lot of our internal stuff is hosted there. It’s always fun to git push/pull with 40kb/s on a gigabit connection.
Maybe you could VPN to or proxy through a box with good peering to you and DO?
When I’ve run into this in the past Cloudflare Warp has been a bit of a saviour. It’s a hassle free way to flick a switch and follow a different path over the network.

#145Reliability is everything. Why aren’t they monitoring their own machines (real or virtual) and getting fire alarms when there’s an outage?
monitoring means you might get called-in on your night-out
who wants that?

#146Y'all, this is going to be deeply unsatisfying, but it's what I can report personally: I have no earthly clue why this thread on our community site is unlisted. We're looking at the admin UI for it right now, and there's like, a little lock next to do the story, but the "unlist story" option is still there for us to click. The best I can say is: I'm reasonably sure there wasn't some top-down edict to hide this thread…
It looks like being authentic is valued over anything else at Fly. I can’t explain how a company responds this immaturely to incidents like these.
If you're talking about the comment you're replying to, tbh I found it was way more relatable than a more "professional" PR-speak response. Maybe you were talking about something else

It looks like all 166 threads with the "App not working" tag are invisible when not logged in. So I'm guessing somebody applied that tag retroactively. https://community.fly.io/c/questions-and-help/app-not-workin... EDIT: it now appears that the "app-not-working" tag itself has been deleted, and no longer shows up even when logged in.
In another comment here, they're saying they just deleted that tag to avoid this access issue — https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36810393
good call out - please as an internet mob let us not ascribe to malice what can be attributed to sheer unintentional impacts of complex software

#148What a great year for render.com.
That boring paas must have gotten a lot of growth from their competitors fucking up
Heroku is going to shit. GitHub integration was down for weeks last year
Fly.io can't get it together. Database being offline for days is just ridiculous.

I left digitalocean for fly because some of their tooling was excellent. I was pretty excited. I’m back on digitalocean now. I’m not unhappy about it, they’re very solid. I don’t love some things about their services, but overall I’d highly recommend them to other developers. I gave up on fly because I’d spontaneously be unable to automate deployments due to limited resources. Or I’d have previously happy deployments…
I moved from DO to Hetzner ( cheaper), I am happy about it.
Does anyone know how Hetzner pricing is half of DO yet is profitable, while DO is loss making with 6% operating margin?
