Introduction to Fly and Its Importance
Fly is a platform designed for developers that allows them to build and ship applications efficiently without being constrained by traditional back-end limitations. Many developers find their experience with platforms like Heroku to be limiting, particularly when trying to implement advanced features such as full-text search or integrating large language models (LLMs). Fly addresses these frustrations by providing developers with the flexibility to run applications closer to their users, such as in different geographic locations, enabling improved performance. The platform is presented as a 'no limits' solution that empowers developers to explore and utilize a wide range of capabilities when building their applications.
