| "We know changes like this can raise questions, and we want to be clear about what this means for customers." Proceeds to not be clear about what this means for customers. |

| ▲ | actsasbuffoon an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | I had an issue with one of my Sprites (Fly.io also runs sprites.dev) and the CEO responded to me personally in less than 10 minutes. They got it fixed quickly. I was a free customer at the time. I pay for it happily now. | |

| ▲ | sm123 an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | Build.io came out of this exact problem a few years ago (I joined in 25Q4) - trying to be what Heroku could have been if it had continued to evolve. We offer the same default simplicity/speed, but with the ability to go deeper once teams hit scale, cost, or workflow limits. Plus a pricing model that stays understandable and improves as teams scale rather than punishing them for it. Fair warning: the website is pretty light right now. It’s mostly a placeholder while we prep a broader push over the few months. Happy to answer questions here if helpful. |

| Holy crap is this underselling how poorly this announcement is structured. Not only does it not provide clarity, it words things in such a way that it just begs more questions. “There are no changes for now”.... |
