alt Hacker NewsYes, plus:
* Near-instant creation
* Automatic spin-down scale-to-zero, so you're not paying for it when it's not in use.
If you're using these like we are internally, you've got like 2 dozen of them sitting around in the background sleeping. They're BIC disposable computers. "When in doubt just make another one."

I see.
Also "containers" always had the option to attach durable storage via bind mounts.
I still get confused by the "this isn't containers" but it's kind of similar.
Maybe I am just too caught up in semantics.
A VPS that is instant to boot, super simple automatic routing and https proxy, with snapshot and durable is a win regardless.
something that isn’t clear to me: what’s the billing when i’m not actively using a sprite? does that go to zero as well, or am i still being billed for storage?
That's roughly what Cloudflare containers are right? (with migrations being the checkpoints?). Cloudflare containers are also nearly instant and have scale-to-zero pricing. The only difference here is the CLI?
Your pricing looks competitive on compute but roughly 4-5 times more expensive on memory and double on storage.
Will you have higher tier pricing plans in the future? I don't see a way to sleep them (if you mean other than idle), and the max plan has 10 running concurrently
