About

Fly.io turns container images into fast-launching Firecracker micro-VMs (Fly Machines) that run in 18 regions, with managed Postgres and volumes. It suits full-stack apps that need real VMs near users. Usage is billed per second after a short free trial.

What you can do with it

Deploy a Dockerfile or framework app with fly launch and fly deploy
Start and stop VMs on demand through the Machines API
Run a managed Postgres database in the same region as your app

Get started

Install flyctl, the Fly.io CLI
Sign up or log in with fly auth login
Run fly launch in your project directory

Example

curl -L https://fly.io/install.sh | sh
fly auth login
# creates, configures and (for most apps) deploys a new app
fly launch
# redeploy after changes
fly deploy
