You can scale a Fly app to an essentially arbitrary number of instances (`scale count x`), and deploy in any number of regions (`regions set nrt syd sin fra`). We'll load balance between instances in nearby regions.

Thanks Thomas, glad to see you here. For the regions, will I be able to know programmatically in which region a particular instance of the app is running? For reference, I want the users of my service to know that we tested their site in regions A, B and C, and that it's currently up in A and B but down in C and show them that in the web dashboard.

Yep, it's in the environment: `FLY_REGION`.

Thanks, appreciate it! By the way, did you start at Fly recently? I seem to recall you had your own company or something like that before.

I've been at Fly.io since early summer 2020. I've had a couple of companies before that. None of them as fun as this one! :)
