"It depends." poetry2nix is pretty good! Generally, exporting to an OCI image, or targeting a production environment that can run Nix closures natively is the way we go about it. Many of our services use buildLayeredImage[0] and target Fly.io.

Do you have some examples for this? The ones that come to mind are things like bare metal/vms with nix, or perhaps disnix, but those are a pretty hard sell over more popular orchestration systems, and I’d like to have more alternatives.
