The Flaws of Traditional Public Clouds
Public clouds have significant shortcomings as shared by the CEO of Fly.io, who believes that traditional cloud services are overly complex and not designed with developers' productivity in mind. For instance, deploying a simple application on AWS can be more challenging than securing a dedicated server, highlighting a systematic issue within public cloud infrastructures. Developers are often left navigating a maze of permissions and protocols that hinder their ability to quickly launch and manage applications. In contrast, Fly.io aims to streamline the deployment process, offering tools that empower developers to launch applications effortlessly and efficiently.
