You are not!
That is in fact, I think, why fly.io is investing in trying to make it easier to deploy Rails, on their platform.
But also contributing to the effort to make Rails itself come with a Dockerfile solution, which Rails team is accepting into Rails core because, I'd assume/hope, they realize it can be a challenge to deploy Rails, and that the Dockerfile generation solution will help.
Heroku remains, IMO, the absolute easiest way to deploy Rails, and doesn't really have a lot of competition -- although some are trying. Unfortunate because heroku is also a) pricey and b) it's owners seem to be into letting it kind of slowly disintegrate.
I'm really encouraged that fly.io seems to be investing in trying to match that ease of deployment for Rails specifically, on fly.io.
