for what it’s worth, most of the incidents listed on the status page are just a byproduct of the global internet not being as stable as one would imagine. a lot of PaaS/IaaS, while having services across the world, mostly run regions independently from each other; and, while a Fly app running in `ams` will certainly keep working if `sin` has flaky network, a client in Singapore will have a hard time connecting to that app - or, an app replicating a database between `lax` and `syd` would probably not be able to do that very well if a shark ate a subsea cable again. people run lots of different kinds of apps on the platform; _most incidents only impact a subset of customers_. it’s possible, I won’t say easy, to architecture a global app to work around these issues; but we’re happy to help with it. single-region (or couple-nearby-regions) apps will be just fine. not to say we haven’t had outages for entirely-us reasons! a lot of those tend to be one-time things we learn a lot from. I wrote something similar to lubien recently [here](https://community.fly.io/t/how-to-have-less-breakages-in-the-complex-fly-ecosystem/26485/3) regarding that, notably: > [@How to have less breakages in the complex Fly ecosystem?](https://community.fly.io/t/how-to-have-less-breakages-in-the-complex-fly-ecosystem/26485/3): > > we’re slowly replacing legacy systems with newer ones that fit the platform better - this trades long-term structural brokenness (or latency/complexity/unreliability, etc) for more obvious short-term brokenness after which the new system will work well. > at least that’s our hope! --- _[View the full topic](https://community.fly.io/t/how-is-reliability/26615)._
