fly.io has a very bad reputation for reliability there doesn't seem to be any damage control beyond hackernews and even here the consensus seems to be "dont run anything mission critical on fly.io or expect data redundancy"

in fact, you can almost get the same thing fly.io does by running firecracker on your own bare metal servers and cheaper too.

I'm afraid the public sentiment towards fly.io has been tainted for good (I can't count how many times they apologized now).

This is the second place you've offered this sentiment. Was it your expectation that we were going to hit some point, sometime in the near future, where we weren't going to have deployment-blocking outages? I'd like to better understand your premise. If it's "I can get more reliability by deploying on a hyperscaler cloud", who ever told you otherwise?

I see so you think its good business practice to basically say "expect more downtimes in the future who cares about your entire business going down for several hours more than once a year.

Gotcha. I'll be sure to pass on the good word.

You'd be happier with a comment saying "there will be no future outages", I see.

I'm puzzled with your statement here. Frankly, offended by your sarcasm and unprofessional behavior here.

What puzzles you about it? I feel like I'm speaking straightforwardly.
