Logbook - 2022-06-23

Summary

Fly.io's June 23, 2022 logbook records a broad set of platform, dashboard, and flyctl updates. It announces YUL (Montreal, QC, Canada), adds Laravel and Laravel Octane detection to fly launch, and improves plain Docker build output when NO_COLOR=1 is set. Backend work optimizes API queries, reduces repeated app-image loads, moves app-discard cleanup into a retryable job, and adds SQL comments to help investigate database data-lock issues. The release also documents diagnostics, makes compliance documents public to prospective customers, and improves fly-proxy’s Rust coverage and PROXYPROTO v2 TLV support. Fixes address fly.toml environment variables, organization deletion, password-reset redirects, app secrets listing, metrics after fly apps move, dashboard errors, malformed SSL TLVs, and overzealous email risk checks.

Takeaways

1. 1

   Setting NO_COLOR=1 makes fly deploy display plain Docker build output and disables colorized deployment output, which can help debug builds in interactive terminals.

2. 2

   First-deploy API calls were optimized to shave about 6 seconds from fly launch or fly deploy on a new app, with the stated goal of reducing unusual CLI timeouts.

3. 3

   Source coverage and test analytics were added for fly-proxy’s all-Rust codebase before merging 22 new commits; the checks had already caught several bugs before production.
