I’m not the person you’re replying to but I’d say so.

Under $5/month you pay nothing at the moment.

https://fly.io/docs/about/pricing/

You need to look at the following for pricing:

- Compute

- Volumes (attached SSD, one per compute instance) - $0.15/GB/month.

- Bandwidth - if you go over 160GB you have to pay per GB.

Gut feel, ~$5/month should be fine for a small project as long as you’re not storing loads of data or doing something that requires lots of bandwidth.

If your project is used irregularly and HTTP based, you can also scale compute down to 0 machines. It’ll boot up again when you get a HTTP request. In my experience it took ~3s or so to boot up a NestJS app on a small VM, totally acceptable for a dev environment.


Any idea if there are price caps? That's one thing i like about "dumb simple" machines is i'm paying for the machine, if it gets traffic and dies i still only pay $5/m. I'm not trying to build facebook, it's okay if it dies.
