Challenges with Public Clouds
Public cloud services often present complexities that hinder developer productivity, as highlighted by the frustrations of deploying applications like simple recipe generators on platforms such as AWS. Developers frequently encounter convoluted processes that require navigating many layers and permissions, making it appear more challenging than managing dedicated servers. This situation prompts the need for alternatives like Fly.io, which aims to provide a streamlined, developer-friendly approach. By allowing direct access to low-level primitives and simplifying multi-region app deployment, Fly.io promotes a more efficient development experience.
