This is interesting! I like using Fly.io today, but I’m currently using a single node for most stuff with SQLite. Having some kind of failover and replication would be pretty awesome. I have yet to try Litestream and it does sound like there’s some issues to work out that could be pretty nasty, but I’ll definitely be watching.

Fly.io is very nice. It’s what I hoped Hyper.sh would be, except it isn’t dead. That said, there are a couple things I worry about… like, there’s no obvious way to resize disks, you pretty much need to make a new disk that’s larger, launch a new instance with it mounted, and transfer data from an existing instance. If it was automated, I probably wouldn’t care, though a zero downtime way of resizing disks would be a massive improvement. Another huge concern is just how good the free tier is. I actually am bothered that I basically don’t get billed. Hyper.sh felt a bit overpriced, and by comparison Fly.io does scale up in price but for small uses it feels like theft.
