I am as obsessed with sub 100ms responses as the people at fly.io, so I think the one writer and many, many readers architecture is smart and fits quite a few applications. When litestream adds actual replication it will get really exciting.

That's... a lot of new applications these days.

I assumed that was what Fly was hiring Ben to work on.

Yes. Yes it is.
Yeah the rolling deployments gotcha really stuck out to me. I think most PaaS will provide that by default anyways because who wants downtime during deploys?
mrkurt specifically mentioned that a solution for that is in the works. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31319544
