so you mean, that it is bad to use volume disk to store data? and better to go for storage service like s3?

I think so too, from [fly.io](http://fly.io) doc they recommend me to run 2 machine and 2 storage, to avoid downtime and they ask me to setup the sync between those storage by my own which is not really practical even though I’m fine with the downtime and running it only by 1 machine, it still has problem in my app thus why I make the thread
