Hey, we’re looking to build a FaaS type service on-top of Fly, and ‘scale-to-zero’ is a requirement for us therefore Machines seem to be the best/only options. We’ve been doing a bunch of research on these forums & the docs, however there’s a few unknowns which we can’t seem to find a solid answer t…

Lots to cover here! Keep in mind that I am not the final say on product direction, I’m along for the ride as well, so some answers related to features are really “This is what I think will happen”. I also don’t dev on machines, but I’m here before others this morning, so let’s start with having me…

[image] fideloper-fly: The Fly Proxy will load balance traffic across all Machine instances of an application within a region. Is this for certain, now? See: Rolling my own autoscaling for Fly Machines - #4 by kurt

I don’t think I see a contradiction there - the fly proxy load balances between machines in an app, but doesn’t autoscale (which seems to be what the linked topic is more about). It will, however, start a stopped machine. It just doesn’t change the number of machines available to load balance betwe…

Thanks for the repies! Apps v2 (running on machines) will eventually be on par with Apps v1. Currently you need to scale manually yourself. I’ve seen discussions internally about figuring out how auto-scaling will work - it’s being thought on. That’s good to know - I assume that’ll be a while be…
