<disclaimer: haven't actually used Fly.io>

The usecase I had for my startup (a few years ago, before fly.io) was "I have an Elixir/Phoenix application - stuff working in the background plus web frontend". I would like to host it with as little thinking about individual servers, load balancers etc. I went with GAE at the time and it was fine.

Fly.io seems like a much more streamlined version of the same thing, with the addition of "global load balancing" stuff on top, if I got to the point of caring about international customers.
