Consider moving from bluebird to any-promise

[karimsa]

With the consideration of performance, perhaps fly should use any-promise instead of bluebird? That way the natively available promise implementation can be used instead of bluebird when available (since the modern versions of node provide that).

@karimsa Yes, that's on the long-term agenda! For now, Bluebird has superior performance.

This is not going to be the story forever, so I'll be happy to get rid of bluebird when the time is right! 👍

Thanks for the clarification! The choice to use bluebird makes more sense now.

Yo! Closing this since Bluebird is here to stay until native-Node can match it (or within reason).

Thanks!
