Fly.io is down in South East Asia

Fly.io is experiencing an outage in Southeast Asia, with users unable to access its website or any applications hosted on the platform.

Background

- Fly.io is a cloud computing platform — a "Platform-as-a-Service" (PaaS) — that lets developers deploy and run web applications without managing their own servers. It's popular in the startup and indie-developer world because it's relatively simple to use and offers servers in many global regions. - This isn't the first time Fly.io has had a regional outage. The platform has historically struggled with reliability in parts of Asia and Oceania, something that has been a recurring complaint among developers in those areas. - A Southeast Asia outage matters because many companies and side projects rely on Fly.io as their only hosting provider. If users in Singapore, Jakarta, Bangkok, etc. cannot reach the site, they also cannot run or monitor the apps they've built. - The original post (from Hacker News, a tech-news discussion board run by Y Combinator) is short — just reporting the outage — but the comments thread below it often contains status updates, workarounds, or explanations from Fly.io staff.
