Fly.io Resource Pricing - Fly.io · read · every row quoted from this page
Who it suits
Workloads that ship as Docker images and need placement in particular regions. Billing is purely usage-based with no plan tiers, which suits spiky or region-pinned traffic better than a flat monthly fee.
Consider something else if…
You want a predictable flat bill rather than charges that track the resources provisioned for each app.

Execution

- CPU Performance ↗
“For each 80ms period of time, we set a quota of 5ms for each shared vCPU, or the full 80ms period for each performance vCPU. If your machine cgroup's CPU usage reaches its quota, its tasks will be 'throttled' (not scheduled to run again) for the remainder of the 80ms period. Quotas are shared between a Machine's vCPUs. For example, a shared-cpu-2x Machine is allowed to run for 10ms per 80ms period, regardless of which vCPU is using that time.”
