Fly.io Has a Free API: Deploy Apps Globally on Edge Servers

What is Fly.io? Fly.io runs your applications on servers close to your users worldwide. Unlike traditional cloud that runs in one region, Fly.io deploys your app to 30+ regions simultaneously — giving users sub-50ms latency no matter where they are. Why Fly.io? Free tier — 3 shared VMs, 160GB outbound bandwidth Global edge — deploy to 30+ regions with one command Firecracker VMs — real VMs, not containers (better isolation) Integrated Postgres — managed PostgreSQL with automatic failover GPU machines — A100 GPUs for ML inference Fly Machines API — programmatically create/manage VMs Quick Start # Install flyctl curl -L https://fly.io/install.sh | sh # Login fly auth login # Launch app (auto-detects Dockerfile, framework) fly launch # Deploys globally in ~60 seconds Fly Machines API # Create a machine programmatically curl -X POST "https://api.machines.dev/v1/apps/my-app/machines" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer FLY_API_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "config": { "image"
