About Fly.io

Fly.io changed the game for application hosting by pushing Docker containers to the edge, and they are doing the exact same thing for artificial intelligence. By introducing L40S and A100 machines to their global network, developers can now deploy serverless AI inference endpoints right next to their users across the globe.

Deploy Dockerized AI Models Globally

If you are building a consumer-facing AI application where milliseconds matter, Fly.io allows you to spin up a global edge AI GPU deployment in minutes. Their custom networking stack handles all the complex routing, meaning your users in Tokyo hit an Asian GPU, while your users in London hit a European GPU, automatically.

Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Deploy dockerized AI models globally with a single CLI command
  • Incredible edge-routing technology puts inference nodes millimeters from users
  • Highly affordable L40S and A100 compute options
  • Extremely active, developer-centric community and documentation
Cons
  • Instances are ephemeral or localized, not designed for massive distributed training
  • Storage volumes (Fly Volumes) can sometimes be tricky to manage at scale
  • H100 multi-node clusters are not available
