Logbook - 2022-07-18

Summary

This Logbook entry records Fly.io product, platform, documentation, and interface changes on 2022-07-18. Highlights include $99 in usage credits for the Pro Plan, SOC2 compliance, persistent-volume expansion through fly volumes extend, SFTP access to apps over 6PN and WireGuard, and routing changes intended to improve latency. flyctl gained debug JSON formatting, expanded machine-app deployment and status commands, preserved mounted volumes during deployments, and added rolling deploys that wait for each VM to start. The entry also describes fixes for autoscaling, the Fly Redis image, GraphQL validation, Phoenix launches, and dashboard presentation, alongside updated Laravel and persistent-volume documentation and improved Heroku token-failure emails.

Takeaways

1. 1

   The Pro Plan now includes usage credits equivalent to its $99 price, and customers with more than $99 in monthly resource usage can receive support by email.

2. 2

   Machine-based apps can use fly deploy with version = 2 in fly.toml; deployments now run rolling updates, waiting for each VM to start before continuing.

3. 3

   A bug that may have prevented autoscaling from working properly was fixed; the issue potentially affected about 75% of apps using the feature.
