Fly.io is a global public cloud for running full-stack and AI applications, with customer workloads that are hardware-isolated for security and can scale horizontally and vertically. Core building blocks include Fly Machines (fast-launching Firecracker VMs with a REST API), Fly Sprites (persistent, checkpointable computers for AI agents), and Fly Managed Postgres. Apps are deployed and orchestrated primarily through the flyctl command-line tool, with private networking, autoscaling, zero-downtime deploys, and global routing across many regions.
