Why the models rank Fly.io — on best container hosting platform for backends
“Purpose-built for running containers (Firecracker microVMs) close to users with a simple fly deploy from a Dockerfile; excellent for stateful/global workloads with anycast, built-in Postgres/volumes, and cheap always-on machines that scale to zero; strong DX for the small-team practitioner who wants real container control without Kubernetes.”
Why the models rank Google Cloud Run — on best container hosting platform for backends
“Best overall for stateless HTTP/gRPC backends: scale-to-zero, high concurrency, usage-based billing, traffic-split revisions, jobs, worker pools, strong observability, and broad regional coverage. This assumes application state lives in external services.”
