Fly.io vs Oracle Cloud vs Amazon EC2

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

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

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