Fly isn’t really edge in the sense that they are colocating with lots of ISPs like Netflix might for video at the edge.

Fly is edge in the sense they have hosts in N regions and manage the anycast for you so traffic seamlessly routes to those regions. They don’t publish which data centers they operate in only the regions (https://fly.io/docs/reference/regions/) but most of those regions line up with equinix data centers which are all physically secured professional facilities.

It’s a great question though and one they should have a document about.

We should do better documenting security across the board, but I keep getting drawn into i.e. months-long DNS optimization problems. This'll get done this year, though.
