Render.com has been a lot more stable for me than Fly.io. After 3-4 months of running into issues running on Fly.io, I went with Render.com and have had no issues so far.

I think Fly.io employees are a lot more active on HN which is why you see them mentioned more often. They also write great blog posts which get a lot of attention here.

I also agree with the sibling comment. I came to Fly.io being sold on servers running close to the users. But I didn't see much of a peformance improvement with my web apps as they all have to communicate with Firebase. There's probably situations where this technology makes sense, but I haven't found a use case yet.

Curious what kind of issues you've seen with fly.io? (Most reports about them I've seen seem to be based on people trying it out relatively briefly, where they might miss things that crop up over a longer time)
