I agree with the pricy bit. I've made a calculation, and it would cost me 1200$ a month to run what Cloudflare does for free.

Now, I get that free is not an option. 50/100$ a month is probably OK. But that's beyond reasonable. And prices change depending on where people visit you from (!?)

I'm not sure what kind of app you're running, but our product/pricing are targeted almost entirely at SaaS apps that need multiple hostnames — which is $2500/mo min on CF: https://fly.io/mix/custom-hostnames

It's really expensive to do that on top of CloudFlare, and most apps like that aren't using a tremendous amount of bandwidth.

We're not _yet_ a great option as a general purpose CDN replacement (both pricing and featureset) but we're getting there, and are pushing prices down continuously. It's more expensive to buy bandwidth and power in certain cities, too, hence the different pricing per region.

If you're willing, I'd love to know what your traffic breakdown is and how you got to that $1200/mo number. You can email me if you'd like! ([e-mail])

Agree it is not a trivial task to build out the infrastructure for custom SSL. We’ve done it ourselves and it’s just now another service component we have to manage. ie. more time sink for something that isn’t our business core feature

For others who are reading this, the whole process involves reading and storing private keys using asymmetric ciphers and all that. Definitely more stuff than we’d like to be responsible for.

Will definitely keep an eye on fly.io for new features! Thanks

We do custom domains for customers with SSL through netlify - though only an option if you have a static site.

Hey, I work at Fly, too. We have a built-in Netlify integration... If you configure your domain with Fly, you can use it as a custom domain for a Netlify, but also serve any other content on arbitrary sub paths. Here's more about the Netlify integration :) https://fly.io/articles/fly-netlify-explosive-static/
