We're launching Fly machines today

Hi, as mentioned in the article “fly deploy” is not available. Does it mean that the deployment isn’t rolled out in Blue/Green fashion? How does it behave? You also mentioned a fixed cost of $0.15/mo for a 1GB Docker image. This is costly for object storage. It kills a bit the idea of designing a FaaS with Fly.io Machines. Imagine, you’re running 10K functions. You would have idle costs of around $1500. I understand that maintaining a state isn’t for free but it should be billed per usage.

Could you tell me more about how a dockerfile can be built remotely and do we profit from a build cache?
