1 | Fundamentally I think some of the problems come down to the difference between what Fly set out to build and what the market currently want.
samwillis | Fly (to my understanding) at its core is about <i>edge</i> compute. That is where they started and what the team are most excited about developing. It's a brilliant
| idea, they have the skills and expertise. They are going to be successful at it.
| However, at the same time the market is looking for a successor to Heroku. A zero dev ops PAAS with instant deployment, dirt simple managed Postgres, generous free
| level of service, lower cost as you scale, and a few regions around the world. That isn't what Fly set out to do... exactly, but is sort of the market they find
| themselves in when Heroku then basically told its low value customers to go away.
| It's that slight miss alignment of strategy and market fit that results in maybe decisions being made that benefit the original vision, but not necessarily the
| immediate influx of customers.
| I don't envy the stress the Fly team are under, but what an exciting set of problems they are trying to solve, I do envy that!
2 | There's a wonderfully blunt saying that applies here (too): you are not in the business you think you are, you are in the business your customers think you are.
bostik | If you offer data volumes, the <i>low water mark</i> is how EBS behaves. If you offer a really simple way to spin up Postgres databases, you are implicitly
| promising a fully managed experience.
| And $deity forbid, if you want global CRUD with read-your-own-writes semantics, the yardstick people measure you against is Google's Spanner.
3 | Where does the misalignment between what the customer thinks they want, and what they actually want fit in to your philosophy? Google Spanner is a great
zamnos | example of this because who <i>doesn't</i> want instantaneous global writes? It's just that, y'know, there's a ton of businesses, especially smaller ones,
| that don't actually need that. The smarter customers realize this themselves, and can judge the premium they'd pay for Spanner over something far less
| complex. What I'm getting to is that sales is a critical company function to bridge the gap between what customers want, and what customers actually need,
| and for you to make money.
| The first releases of EBS weren't very good and took a while to get to where we are. Some places still avoid using EBS due to bad experience back in 2011
| when it was first released.
