About

Fly.io transforms containers into micro-VMs that run on hardware in 35+ regions. Deploy your full-stack apps close to your users worldwide.

Target Audience: Backend and platform engineering teams that need to run production web apps, APIs, and background workers close to users in multiple geographies. It is especially useful for teams shipping latency-sensitive products, because Fly.io lets them deploy Docker-based services without rewriting the application for a separate edge runtime. Startups and product teams also use it when they want global reach, private networking, and per-region control without managing their own international infrastructure.
Not ideal for: Teams that only need simple static website hosting or a no-code website builder should not use Fly.io, because it is designed for deploying containerized applications and managing distributed runtime infrastructure.

What makes it different

  • Runs applications as Firecracker-based microVMs, giving each workload VM-style isolation while still deploying from containers.
  • Supports deployment across 35+ regions with Fly Proxy anycast routing to send users to the nearest healthy instance.
  • Provides private WireGuard networking between apps and regions for service-to-service communication.
  • Supports persistent volumes for stateful workloads, so apps can keep local disk state alongside globally distributed compute.
