The guaranteed-performance Fly.io alternative

Rock8Cloud vs Fly.io

A shared vCPU is 6.25% of a core. Ours is all yours.

Fly's shared machines get 5 ms of CPU per 80 ms period and are throttled once the burst balance runs out. That is cheap right up until your workload needs the core. Rock8Cloud reserves your plan's CPU and memory for you, always on, with AI code review, sandbox agents and logs & health included. 30 days free, no card.

Side by side

A slice of a coreagainst the whole thing.

Fly documents exactly what a shared vCPU gets, and it is a sixteenth of a core before burst. Rock8Cloud reserves the capacity your plan names, so the price you compare is for performance you actually keep.

Free migration

Moving off Fly.io? We migrate you for free.

Our engineers move your services to Rock8Cloud with you - apps, databases, environment variables and domains. It costs nothing and there is no commitment. Tell us what you run and we bring it over together.

Without leaving your agent

Migrate from inside your AI agent.

Rock8Cloud speaks MCP. Point your agent at it and it does the whole move - provisions Postgres and Redis, sets your config, and ships your app. That same agent reviews every PR and builds tasks in sandboxes once you're moved over. You stay in your editor, the agent does the wiring.
