Fly.io is the developer of a platform that enables developers to easily deploy, run and scale applications globally. It supports running containerized applications built in any language or framework on its own hardware across 26 global regions. Fly.io serves customers ranging from individual developers to companies like Cars.com, Supabase and Fanatics.
Co-founder and CEO Kurt Mackey previously founded MongoHQ/Compose, a database-as-a-service company acquired by IBM in 2016. Mackey and the Fly.io team have deep expertise in databases, cloud infrastructure, and developer tooling. The company has raised $107 million to date, including a $70 million Series C led by Andreessen Horowitz. Fly.io plans to use the funding to expand its global footprint and is actively hiring engineers.
Fly.io aims to attract developers by making it simple to deploy apps globally in minutes using any Docker container. It offers a generous free tier and straightforward, affordable pricing based on actual resource usage. However, Fly.io faces the challenge of competing against established cloud platforms and content delivery networks. It will need to clearly differentiate its developer experience and performance advantages to gain significant market share in the crowded cloud infrastructure space.
