@carter I just saw your questions!
The officially supported way to programmatically launch apps on Fly is with the Machines API. You still need graphql for allocating IPs and volumes (for now), but the best way to do what you’re after is:
- Create app with machines api
- Allocate IPs with graphql
- Create machines for app with services
We probably won’t make shared IP routing more powerful. Shared IPs exist to let people try the service and run side projects without spending money.
For your current dedicated IPs, we’ll send a notice saying “we’re gonna start billing for these on X date”. Then we’ll send a few more. Then we’ll start billing for them. We won’t remove IPs from existing apps production apps.
