Fly.io's $2.02 Machine Isn't Your Bill: The Five Metered Lines That Double It
Fly.io's $2.02 Machine is the headline, not the invoice. A line-by-line reconstruction of what volumes, egress, egress IPs, snapshots, and private networking add to a real app — and what the same stack costs flat on Hetzner.
The Four PaaS Pricing Pages You Must Re-Audit in Q3 2026: Railway, Render, Fly, and Vercel After Active CPU
Railway, Render, Fly.io, and Vercel all moved their meters in 2026. A same-workload, line-by-line bill recompute across all four — plus the flat Hetzner baseline — shows where costs really diverge.
Proxmox VE Evaluations Up 340%: What the VMware Exodus Means for Your Next Cluster API Provider
Gartner reports Proxmox VE evaluations up 340% as Broadcom's VMware bills rise 800-1500%. What Proxmox 9.1's OCI-to-LXC feature actually does, how CAPMOX compares to CAPH, and when a second Cluster API provider earns its place in a self-hosted fleet.
Who Backs Up the Management Cluster? Rebuilding the CAPI Brain When It Dies
Your workload clusters keep serving traffic when the management cluster dies — but nothing can scale, heal, or upgrade until you rebuild the brain. A line-by-line walkthrough of three recovery paths with concrete commands, the stale-state trap, and a quarterly drill to prove it works.
Heroku Is in Sustaining Mode: What Staying Costs vs a €4.35 Hetzner Box
Salesforce put Heroku in sustaining mode in February 2026 — no new Enterprise contracts, no new features. A line-by-line bill shows the cheapest always-on Heroku app still costs $12/month next to a €3.79 Hetzner CX22 with 20TB included, and the gap widens with every app.
Railway's $5 vs Fly.io's $2: What the Cheapest Always-On Service Really Costs
Railway advertises $5 with $5 credit, Fly.io a $2 shared-CPU box. Add a 10GB volume and 50GB egress and the cheapest always-on bill tells a different story — with a line-by-line recompute against a €3.79 Hetzner box.
Backblaze B2 Overdrive Promises Unlimited Free Egress: What It Actually Costs vs MinIO and Garage on Your Own Disks
Backblaze B2 Overdrive offers unlimited free egress at $15/TB/month. A worked comparison at 1 TB, 10 TB, and 100 TB shows where it beats standard B2 and R2, and where MinIO or Garage on Hetzner NVMe still wins on control and flat cost.
Fly.io Is Killing GPUs on August 1: What Two Retreats in Three Years Say About Renting vs Owning Your Accelerators
Fly.io's A10/L40S/A100 GPUs go unavailable August 1, 2026 — its second GPU retreat since 2024 — while its jobs page sits at zero. A concrete migration math of where inference workloads land on rented GPU clouds vs owned bare-metal nodes, and why an owned GPU pool can't be sunset.
Fly.io Killed Its Subscription Tiers in 2024 and Kept Adding Billing Lines Through 2026: What Pure Usage-Based Pricing Actually Costs an Always-On App at Scale
Fly.io cut its Hobby/Launch/Scale plans in October 2024 for per-second usage billing, then added snapshot and egress-IP charges in 2026. A line-by-line model prices the same always-on app on Fly.io versus a flat Hetzner CX23 and shows why the forecast matters more than the sticker price.
