description: "Fly.io’s 2022-05-05 Logbook reports a broad set of infrastructure, product, security, documentation, and bug-fix updates intended to run customer apps faster and more reliably in VMs close to users worldwide. Remote builders now use regional Docker Hub mirrors, clean unused RUN --mount=type=cache build caches, and perform cleanup at startup and shutdown; the new behavior is default for new builders, while existing builders must be destroyed to receive it. WireGuard gateway improvements address load issues, add regional capacity, and support future redundancy, while another IAD gateway is intended to improve connectivity for customer 6pn networks and CI, especially GitHub Actions. The update also adds API security logging for SOC2, re-enables OpenTelemetry, speeds the proxy build pipeline, changes default persistent volume size from 10GB to 3GB, and ships a dashboard, payment retry feature, VSCode fly.toml validation and documentation changes, alongside GraphQL performance work and fixes for monitoring, invoices, encryption, and Homebrew updates."

# Logbook - 2022-05-05

## Summary

Fly.io’s 2022-05-05 Logbook reports a broad set of infrastructure, product, security, documentation, and bug-fix updates intended to run customer apps faster and more reliably in VMs close to users worldwide. Remote builders now use regional Docker Hub mirrors, clean unused RUN --mount=type=cache build caches, and perform cleanup at startup and shutdown; the new behavior is default for new builders, while existing builders must be destroyed to receive it. WireGuard gateway improvements address load issues, add regional capacity, and support future redundancy, while another IAD gateway is intended to improve connectivity for customer 6pn networks and CI, especially GitHub Actions. The update also adds API security logging for SOC2, re-enables OpenTelemetry, speeds the proxy build pipeline, changes default persistent volume size from 10GB to 3GB, and ships a dashboard, payment retry feature, VSCode fly.toml validation and documentation changes, alongside GraphQL performance work and fixes for monitoring, invoices, encryption, and Homebrew updates.

## Context

The logbook covers behind-the-scenes work to run apps faster and better in Fly.io’s own VMs close to users worldwide, alongside efforts to improve security, reliability, regional capacity, and user-facing tooling.

## Approach / What changed

The updates combine remote-builder cache and mirror changes, WireGuard gateway performance and capacity work, API observability and security logging, dashboard and payment features, smaller default persistent volumes, GraphQL performance changes, CLI and editor improvements, bug fixes, and documentation updates.

## Takeaways

- Remote builders use regional Docker Hub mirrors, remove unused RUN --mount=type=cache build caches, and run cleanup at startup and shutdown. Existing builders must be destroyed to receive this behavior.
- WireGuard gateway load fixes and added regional capacity improve the reliability of fly deploy and SSH commands while laying groundwork for gateway redundancy. An additional IAD gateway targets 6pn peer connectivity and CI reliability.
- New persistent volumes default to 3GB instead of 10GB, reducing the likelihood that small projects accidentally provision and pay for more storage than needed.
