About Fly Expand
Fly offers a compute platform built for developers who need to run any code with confidence, abstracting away the complexities of traditional infrastructure. It centers on "Machines," which are hardware-virtualized containers that launch instantly and operate within isolated sandboxes.
This design allows for secure execution of even untrusted code, including AI-generated outputs. The platform integrates fast local NVMe storage and global object storage, enabling global deployments across 18 regions to achieve low-latency performance.
This helps developers focus on application logic rather than server management, making it suitable for a wide range of modern applications.
