The Fly Beta Shop

Let me share my build experience so far, which is awesome btw.
I started with the builtins, very useful to kickstart something on Fly.
As soon as I wanted to optimize the runtime for image size or wanted to be up-to-date with a specific runtime version I went creating custom Dockerfiles. This way I’m able to use e.g. my static web server Docker image which is only 160k in size (compressed) and has decent performance even on a tiny micro-1x!

You have to let me in on how you get a web server in 160K…

[adds lwan to list of interesting servers] Thanks.

sure, glad you asked.

(And now I’m looking at if it would be useful as a builtin…

PS: Any requests for builtins (either new ones or features/switches in existing ones, just let me know)

Now it gets even more tiny, only ~64kB by using Sqlite/Althttpd.
