>Fly is way easier to navigate and use than AWS and its labyrinth of Cloud Scaleā„¢ horrors

Give fly.io a couple years and it will end up forced to take on all the complexity and edge cases AWS and Azure have to deal with today.

A shiny new codebase is always nicer than an old one, because the old one has had to accommodate all those pesky customer needs.

Did that ever happen to Heroku? Ignoring 10% of use cases for their target customers and making the 90% doesn't sound crazy to me.
You think it's inevitable? I think it's unlikely, they probably run into a different kind of targets. Those "edge cases" horror seem unnecessary like permission hell, pricing model hell (and too many size)
