Config-based redirects?

With my site that’s currently hosted on Netlify, I use their fancy _redirects file to do simple redirects: kentcdodds.com/_redirects at main · kentcdodds/kentcdodds.com · GitHub

It’s very effective and easy. And because it’s CDN based it’s pretty fast and doesn’t require any of my server resources.

Anyone have suggestions on doing something similar to this with fly?

We’ve experimented with features for this in the past but it’s (mostly) been better to have people handle redirect logic in app code. It’s not perfect but the UX is nice!

That said, maybe we should just do this redirect by default: kentcdodds.com/_redirects at main · kentcdodds/kentcdodds.com · GitHub
