Ben Hoyt replaced AWS

Now: Fly.io, running 3 years

$108net saved per year, after running costs

Ben Hoyt moved two Go side projects off a single Amazon EC2 instance onto Fly.io in early 2023. Both apps fit inside Fly.io's free allowance, and the move let him delete hundreds of lines of Ansible scripts and config files.
