Honestly these days I am leaning towards this approach: https://github.com/mrsked/mrsk/

It's all just docker.

I really like the work that you're doing Thomas, this is the right approach. FWIW, https://fly.io/blog/carving-the-scheduler-out-of-our-orchest... is one of my favourite posts on your blog.

For everyone else reading this, we have been running https://changelog.com on Fly.io since April 2022. This is what our architecture currently looks like: https://github.com/thechangelog/changelog.com/blob/master/IN...

After 15 months & more than 100 million requests served by our Phoenix + PostgreSQL app running on Fly.io, I would be hard pressed to find a reason to complain.

- While experimenting with machines, after many creations & deletions, one volume could not be deleted. Next day, the volume was gone.

That's about it after 15 months of running production workloads on Fly.io.

We mention about our Fly.io experience often in our Kaizen pod episodes, which we publish every ~2 months: https://changelog.com/topic/kaizen. For anyone curious, this is the episode in which we announced the migration: https://changelog.com/shipit/50. There is a detailed PR which goes with it: https://github.com/thechangelog/changelog.com/pull/407. We've been talking about our migration plan from apps v1 (Nomad) to apps v2 (flyd) recently: https://changelog.com/friends/2#transcript-138

I'm sorry to hear that many of you didn't have the best experience. I know that things will continue improving at Fly.io. My hope is that one day, all these hard times will make for great stories. This gives me hope: https://community.fly.io/t/reliability-its-not-great/11253

Keep improving.
