Puchify vs Fly.io
Configure Fly Machines for the application, set up a managed Postgres database, and use the built-in proxy for load balancing. If the application uses MySQL, Valkey, or needs file storage or block storage, those require separate providers.
Create a server, a database of any supported engine, configure a load balancer, and mount file storage — all from one interface. No need to adapt your architecture to the platform's constraints.
