So is Fly good for small sites or is it good for huge sites? What's a big customer? For small sites my idea of a multi-region deployment is a single-region deployment that works in multiple regions thanks to the magic of the Internet.

I see this which mostly seems to be content sites. https://www.wappalyzer.com/technologies/paas/fly-io/ Same on the first forum result: https://community.fly.io/t/customer-success-stories/4882

I'd say its good for both.

Small sites because it is low-bandwidth to figure out how to use. Time is money and if I'm just tinkering on the weekend I don't really want to learn Kubernetes or the labyrinth that is AWS; I just want to ship an app.

Big sites because your users get routed to the node closest to them and again you can do this without a lot of time investment. For Elixir I just wire up Libcluster and my nodes can talk to each other.

I really want GPUs on Fly soon though. Just take my money Kurt. (I hear they're working on it)
