I can't think of another for-profit company that gets as much positive attention on the front page of HN as Fly.io. Either it's a really great product, or HN is turning into Reddit where "sponsored content" is carefully folded into the organic.

It's a really great product!

We tested it and experienced intermittent deploy failures so we didn't go with it.
For me it was trying to build an AWS Lambda function where I'd deploy a new version and visit the URL, then wait for the CloudWatch logs. And wait. And wait. It might only be two minutes but that is long enough for me to want some tea, maybe look at some other issue filed that morning and see if I can make progress in diagnosing it, and WHOOPS I GOT DISTRACTED FOR HALF AN HOUR.
fly.io is instantaneous. I deploy, I see the result, I fix it, I deploy again and figure out the next problem. It is a pleasant environment to develop in.

I've noticed the time for new logs to appear is proportionally related to the number of log streams you have in that container already. If you eagerly spool your logs out of there and keep a short threshold for automatic deletion the request to log delay for a lambda serving something like API Gateway is, in my experience, only a few milliseconds.

Clearly, you haven't hit those spontaneous fly.io bugs, yet ;)
Nobody's sponsoring anything or "folding" anything on HN. We only care what users find interesting.
The interest in fly.io, and the few other startups people get excited about, is definitely organic. I wish there were more of them—it would be good for the community and therefore for the forum.
