Founded in 2016 by Kurt Mackey, Thomas Ptacek, Michael Dwan, and Jerome Gravel-Niquet, Fly.io is a developer-focused public cloud that runs applications and full-stack workloads inside Firecracker microVMs distributed across data centers worldwide, placing compute geographically close to end users. Developers deploy containers or apps with a simple CLI and Fly handles global routing, anycast networking, and edge placement, with managed Postgres alongside. Fly's GPU Machines experiment did not find product-market fit and is deprecated, with the service shutting down on July 31, 2026. The company raised a $70 million Series C in June 2023, bringing total funding to roughly $111 million.
