It's a great service but honestly I think they just got lucky with how they named it. It's short, easy to pronounce and very memorable. Were it to be called anything else, I'm not sure it would've caught on.

Most people in this thread are either in North America or Europe, so options for managed services like Fly exist, and they are plenty. But for people in South America, what options are there for a Heroku-like service? I don't want user

Just to give some context, I've been a marathon runner for 7 years. I have a PB of 3:24, and I'm training for a sub 3 hour marathon right now (logging around 70 - 120km per week). I run 6 times a week, and work out at the gym 3 ti
