From Go on EC2 to fly.io

I recently switched two side projects from being hosted on an Amazon EC2 instance to using Fly.io. It was a really good experience: Fly.io just worked. It allowed me to delete about 500 lines of Ansible scripts and config files, and saved me $9 a month.

So the smallest shared 1 CPU Fly.io VM can handle 500 requests per second without any problems. I’m happy with that! I realize this is not exactly a scientific test, but it’s good enough for my purposes here.

Simple Go apps are a superpower!
