Fly.io vs Amazon EC2 vs Oracle Cloud

Easy, cheap deploys for small apps; the main downsides are past outages and hands-on database setup.

Users mostly praise Amazon EC2 for low cost, especially with spot instances or reserved capacity, and for steady uptime on long-running servers.

Generous free tier for small servers, but free instances can be hard to get or vanish unannounced.
