You can test a full Fly Machines deploy on your laptop now, no account and no cost.
Three open-source pieces make it work:
mudflaps: a stateful local emulator of the Fly Machines API spritzer: a stateful local emulator of the Fly Sprites API (sandboxes + checkpoints) chant’s fly-deploy-rollback tutorial: deploys an App + Machine, wrapped in a Sprite checkpoint so a failed change rewinds to known-good
It all runs in Docker, offline and can be pointed at real Fly + real Sprites.
