Fly.io is the service I’ve been most excited to see make headway in a long time.

Pairing this with a global sql (cough cockroach cough*) is literally the app platform I’ve been dreaming about.

I would like to see more documentation around push based architectures. That is I want to build a system where a process pushes to the Redis in fly but is not running itself in fly. Basically something that may be unrouteable for pulls.

In any case congrats fly team!




Thanks for the kind words! Cockroach is awesome and it's something we'd like to offer someday. Until then checkout FaunaDB.

Your push example is interesting. We don't have a way to connect to redis from outside fly, but you could certainly boot up a tiny app on fly that acts as a proxy from external apps into the fly redis.


Yeah that’s what I ended up messing with, it works for sure.
