Fly.io runs your app as Firecracker microVMs across a global network of regions. You deploy via flyctl and a Dockerfile (or Nixpacks), and Fly schedules instances close to your users. It is the easiest way to run a stateful long-running process or a backend that needs persistent volumes, websockets, and global reach. Compared to traditional PaaS, Fly is closer to bare metal: more control, more responsibility. Pricing is consumption-based with a small free allowance.
