What Fly.io is
Fly.io provides Linux computers for AI agents, tools and applications. It is for teams and developers running coding agents, personal agents, MCP servers, untrusted code and applications built by agents.
Its Sprites sleep when an agent stops, then resume with their filesystem and services preserved. Fly Machines run applications in hardware-isolated virtual machines. The platform automatically checkpoints Sprites and supports rollback. Connectors allow Sprites to reach external services without receiving credentials directly. Billing stops when a Sprite is unused, with charges based on tool calls or stored bytes.

What the models said
“If you expect persistent processes, real-time connections, or multi-region infrastructure, choose Fly.io.”
“If you expect serious scale or need fine-grained control, go with AWS or Fly.io.”
“If you want your backend server running in London, Tokyo, and New York simultaneously with a globally replicated database, Fly.io is unparalleled.”
“Render / Fly.io / self-hosted VPS: good if you need more control over backend processes, but they generally require more operational work than Vercel.”
