Hi,
I don’t know if this has been requested before, but I think it would be great if you could pay for more ephemeral storage for a machine. I understand that even on a reboot the storage will be wiped, but it would be very useful for caching purposes.
I currently use something similar with AWS’ Lambda Functions where I cache files in the ephemeral storage to reduce the amount of calls necessary to S3 and thereby improve performance and lower costs.
With Fly.io machines this would work even better than with Lambda functions since they usually have a much longer lifetime.
I’m curious if there are others who would like to see the feature.
