Fantastic writeup: technical details, context and framing, all in clear, informal, plain-English prose. It's profoundly effective, and vanishingly rare. As for Fly's solution per se: like many great ideas it seems simple bordering on obvious, in retrospect. I'm impressed and more interested than ever in bringing fly.io into my wheelhouse.
Final thoughts:
CLI-first: flyctl reminds me of `vercel` (fka Zeit `now`), which is a big compliment
> "VM build-and-boot process on a second deployment is faster than the logging that we do"
... ie, well-suited for lambdas / serverless functions at CDN edge -- which is of extreme relevance and interest to me and everyone else working on minimizing latency with modern webapp architecture... exciting times!
