Fly Changelog May 15th 2020

This is the Fly Changelog where we list all significant changes to the Fly platform, tooling and web sites. You can also use the RSS feed of just changelog posts available on fly.io/changelog.xml or consult our dedicated ChangeLog page with all the recent updates.

Since the last ChangeLog, we implemented a whole new scaling system with updates to the platform and flyctl. You can read all the details in the Updating Scale article. We’ve also been improving the performance of our backhaul, which moves traffice between the Fly edge and datacenters.

flyctl: Version 0.0.121 released

  • New autoscale and regions commands added to flyctl.

Fly Platform/Web

  • New scaling system implemented in the platform, based on region pools. See Updating Scale article.
  • Rolled out new HTTP2 only backhaul. (The backhaul moves traffic around the Fly network between the edge and the datacenters). This change improves performance and stability for Fly applications that use the http handler.

flyctl: Version 0.0.120 released

  • Naming of flyctl binary artifacts made consistent with tgz artifacts. Standalone binaries now use the same platform names as the archived version. (This is typically not visible to the user through the use of getfly.fly.dev and the installer script).

flyctl: Version 0.0.118 released

  • Custom Dockerfiles are now correctly mapped (Fixes #119).
