I (like many others) want fly to succeed and have even moved a couple of (smaller) production apps to Fly.
But it's very clear that over the last few months, the (already quite capable) fly team is just in over their heads and have bitten off way way more than they can chew.
I've had nothing but headaches after they auto-migrated our app to v2. My build machine had to be forcibly destroyed to even work. Then it allowed me to easily just delete an app cuz I wasn't able to deploy to it.
Then the deploys kept failing due to some VM provisioning error (it thinks I want to add another app when I just want to deploy to an existing app within the 3 machine limit) and honestly, I just don't care to troubleshoot this anymore. That was the point of using a platform like this... Any time I would've saved by using this platform has been wasted with these random errors that I don't have the time to troubleshoot.
I destroyed the app thinking "ok maybe I'll also recreate that one" because clearly the migration to v2 failed. And now that all my secrets were destroyed, when I try to attach the new app to postgres (with the existing username and existing database), it won't let me.
I genuinely wish you guys the best of luck with what has to be a tough time for your company, and will reconsider if you build something demonstrably more stable. But right now I just can't afford to drown with you with clients breathing down my neck.
