Deployment: Outdated Fly.io Information #27895
Comments
Thanks for opening this issue @DevlinRocha Looks like their docs have actually been updated with the current system with more clarity! So now, similar to Railway, new accounts are given a one-time $5 grant that will only start being used up for usage that exceeds the free allowance. Once the credit is gone, you'll be put onto the standard $5/mo plan. You will need to make the same change to both the deployment lesson file for the nodejs pathway, and for the deployment lesson file for the rails pathway, as they use separate files for the same lesson. |
@MaoShizhong doesn't Fly.io still have a free allowance (< $5/month gets waived)?
https://fly.io/docs/about/pricing/#free-allowances From their help forum:
https://community.fly.io/t/questions-on-100-billing-discount/11133/5 I don't use Fly.io so I can't confirm anything, but it seems like our small projects should come out to be free. |
@Eduardo06sp That help forum post was from March 2023 when the legacy free plan was still in place. Earlier this year, they scrapped what used to be the free tier - now called the "legacy hobby plan" which is still available to existing users who were already on it, but new accounts are automatically put on their new free trial, where you get $5 credit that will only start to be used once you exceed the free resource allowance. https://community.fly.io/t/free-plan-clarification/18661/7 In essence, the current system seems to be pretty close to Railway's current system, where they also gove a $5 one-time credit grant before you must move to a paid plan. |
@DevlinRocha Just a courtesy check in to see if this is still something you wish to work on? |
My apologies, @MaoShizhong! I can get started on this now and should have a PR up soon. I did have a quick question -- with the new context of Fly.io no longer offering a true free plan, is it still what The Odin Project recommends?

No worries, genuinely no rush - all of us are volunteers here, so it's just a courtesy check in. About the recommendation, hmmm. I believe that recommendation is primarily a "if you still can't make a choice", but in previous projects where we've offered choices for things (e.g. deploying React front end only), we've gone with "any is fine". I think personally at least, I'd probably prefer for it to say something more like

Describe your suggestion
The Fly.io free plan has been sunset as the "Legacy Hobby Plan" and replaced with the "Hobby Plan" which gives a free $5 credit once to start and and no longer offers a monthly $5 credit, similar to other "free plan" offerings from other PaaS.
