Just a feedback: the landing page doesn't explain at all what's the difference with AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, etc.

I had to read these parts in the doc to get how Fly solves the problem differently:

> Think of a world where your application appears in the location where it is needed. When a user connects to a Fly application, the system determines the nearest location for the lowest latency and starts the application there.

> Compare those Fly features with a traditional non-Fly global cloud. There you create instances of your application at every location where you want low latency. Then, as demand grows, you'll end up scaling-up each location because scaling down is tricky and would involve a lot of automation. The likelihood is that you'll end up paying 24/7 for that scaled-up cloud version. Repeat that at every location and it’s a lot to pay for.




Thanks for the feedback. The landing page is very much a work in progress!
