One of the interesting bits about Fly is we have our own servers distributed globally and connected via wireguard. Which makes it is trivial to setup Elixir/Erlang distribution globally, and most importantly, close to your customers. While its not a magic bullet it is pretty amazing to type a few commands have a globally deployed and directly distributed application.

Further Fly builds its Dashboard internally with Phoenix LiveView. We want the Phoenix and Ruby and Laravel and more communities soon, to grow because we believe if they grow, we will too.

That's just internal networking isn't it? VPC on the big clouds, DigitalOcean, and Vultr. Private Services on render.com.

I remember when Fly.io used to tout Firecracker but that is just a KVM engine, along with QEMU used on a zillion hosts.

What I'd like to see are customer success stories.

Edit: looks like you have to set up your own cross-region links on DigitalOcean and Vultr. So that interests me somewhat. :)
