Thanks for clarifying! Does it scale down to zero? If I have a very small hobby app that may only have a few users a day would it make sense to throw it on to fly.io?

It would make sense! We give free credits specifically for side/hobby apps (in theory, you can run ~3 microscopic VMS pretty much full time with this): https://fly.io/docs/pricing/#free-for-side-projects https://fly.io/docs/pricing/#free-for-side-projects We don't scale to 0 because the cold start experience for most apps is brutal. In the future we may be able to suspend VMs and wake them up quickly, or even migrate them to regions with idle servers.
