Ask HN: Anyone Interviewed at Fly.io?

I don't work for fly, but I'll say that while the end-user of fly.io isn't expected to run an orchestration system, fly.io themselves runs an orchestration system (nomad from what I can tell), so it seems like a fairly reasonable idea for a take home evaluation for an infrastructure role at the company to evaluate skills/knowledge about orchestration systems.

They posted maybe 6 months ago that they were migrating from Nomad to K8s (and expected it to take a while) so it's possible they're not on Nomad anymore.

I would be _shocked_ if they moved to K8s.

I must have misremembered, they did say they're moving away from nomad in https://fly.io/blog/a-foolish-consistency/

edit: And here they say they're replacing nomad with their own thing: https://fly.io/jobs/platform-engineering/

The new thing is `flyd`. I'm writing a blog post about it, right after I write a blog post about our inscrutable hiring process.

We would sooner all eat a bug.
