Been a fan of fly and have had most, if not all, of my side and semi-side projects on there for some time now. But...the ratio of good/fun/snarky blog posts to reliable service has gotten a bit too large for me, starting to look for other providers at this point just in case they can't turn this trend around. Honestly been a good object lesson for me in the importance of backing up marketing/hype/"mind-share" stuff w/ absolute rock-solid performance/reliability or just forgoing the former for the latter.

As an aside, it's also taking down some decently-load-bearing web infra like unpkg => https://www.unpkg.com/

Yeah, I saw; I've kept up w/ everything pretty closely. Still decently frustrating as a paying customer, but I hope they can figure it out. If they can and can show some real reliability, I'll be an even bigger fan.

Wow, part of Delaware’s tax website was hanging on unpkg today, now I know why!
