Yeah, unless I can find a CDN to cache my blog (and maybe its static assets) that would be affordable enough for my needs.

I wrote an article about making server-side rendered sites fast around the world without a CDN at https://fly.io/ruby-dispatch/semi-static-websites/

My examples are in Ruby, which is super slow compared to what you’re doing. Now I’m super curious what kind of performance you’d get globally on Fly if you deployed to a bunch of different regions.

If you can help me get a Nix flake running on Fly, I'll try it!
I know next to nothing about Nix at Fly except there's a few folks who are looking at it at Fly. The repo at https://github.com/fly-apps/nix-base shows how its working for a Rails app. Is that enough to get you running with Nix flakes?

Beyond that https://community.fly.io is the best place to get help with Nix on Fly since my abilities are exceeded. There's a Rust thread at https://community.fly.io/t/running-reproducible-rust-a-fly-a... that touches on nix flakes.
