Scaleway's serverless containers might be a good alternative if you're looking for an EU-based provider. However, they don't offer nearly as many data center locations as Fly.io.
DigitalOcean🇺🇸
DigitalOcean's App Platform offers a similar managed experience to deploying container-based applications, and you get access to the rest of their managed services such as databases, caches, and object storage.
Railway🇺🇸
Railway is a good alternative to Fly.io if you're looking for a similar developer experience and managed database offerings. However, they don't yet offer as many datacenter locations and instance configuration options.
