Nobody gets hurt by a little departure from reality, generating hype with low quality images and articles.

It's just meant to be nothing but a campaign anyways.

How do you compare DO to Hetzner?

For people looking for alternatives, what are some suggestions? Is MRSK with Hetzner good?

AWS is way too expensive and complex nowadays. I can’t stand the amount of terminology they invented just to deploy a website and database.

It looks like being authentic is valued over anything else at Fly. I can’t explain how a company responds this immaturely to incidents like these.

The worst thing about Fly is, when something goes wrong, it's not just one thing, there's bunch of things broken at the same time and their status page will show everything green.

Their typical response is either silence or so casual ("oh this is what happens we deploy on friday"). The product looks amazing but it's just a nice package around the most unreliable hosting service I've ever used.

You can't just keep breaking people's work every once a week, make them spend their weekend nights trying to bring back their stuff, and give these "we could have done better" answers. This is an excuse for exceptions, not patterns.
