They've had their fair share of pains with it, but they still seem pretty happy with it https://fly.io/blog/a-foolish-consistency/

Happy is a word. There are lots of words. I like words! You could be creative about what word could take the place of "happy" in that sentence, and probably still be correct. Get weird with it! Maybe "sanguine" would work. "Engaged".

The reality is: we've got a fair bit of experience with Consul at this point, we respect the hell out of it for the problems it was designed to solve, and we're unlikely to stretch it any further than we've already stretched it. Distributed lock service for Postgres clusters? Sure. Source of truth for all our app state? We've built our own thingy ("corrosion", a Rust distribute state system) to phase Consul out with. I'll get Jerome to say things about it.

Looking forward to the blog post!

Sorry yes. 'Invested' was more along what I was thinking :)
