The Flaws of Public Clouds
Public clouds often fall short of meeting developers' needs due to complexity and usability issues. Traditional cloud services like AWS can be cumbersome to navigate, making simple tasks like deploying applications unnecessarily complicated. As a result, developers may find themselves more productive with dedicated servers or alternative solutions instead of wrestling with cumbersome infrastructures. This dissatisfaction highlights the demand for cloud services that prioritize developer efficiency and ease of use, a gap that Fly.io aims to fill through its streamlined processes.
