why?


The landing page shows all logos of small companies, including one that is migrating away from them (Turso)

https://fly.io/


I think fly is focused on small/medium companies, bigger companies will have the manpower to use AWS/Azure directly.


Do you have a citation on Turso moving away from Fly? I'd be particularly curious about anything Turso has written on _why_ they're moving away.


What you're actually observing there is that we don't have a "marketing" team and we just don't care that much about the front page. As long as it's describing what we do roughly accurately, we don't think about the front page. It's not like a huge part of our funnel.

You could say this is cope, but we've been exactly the same way about this page since 2020. For a stretch of over a year it didn't even accurately describe us --- people who learned about us from the front page thought we were an edge compute company still.


I love fly but you really have to work harder on these things, the landing page is not something you need a marketing team for


No, we don't have to work harder on these things. "I love fly but I think they're going bankrupt soon because I did kremlinology on their front page" is not actually a user cohort I care much about.

I'm really tired of trying to make decisions about what we say or don't say based on these weird messaging things, so I think we're just going to stop trying, and go back to talking like we did in 2021.
