Fly.io and Open Source

Fly.io builds on the work of a tremendous open source infrastructure community. We want open source authors to benefit from their work because we think a healthy, thriving open source ecosystem will help us build better products.

Equity Grants

There’s a tradition of giving equity grants to startup advisors who help growing companies. We too give equity grants—with us, though, they go to open source authors whose projects we rely on such as isolated-vm and acme-client. Those projects are important to Fly.io and helped us build the developer experience we wanted.

Recurring donations

We sponsor the developers behind our favorite open source projects. Some we use heavily, like the Hyper HTTP client for Rust. Some are just cool, like the Gleam language.
