On one hand it sounds cool. On the other, I feel like I missed it.

Is this just a fancy VPS like digital ocean with, https endpoint, snapshot and restore?

(Same thing goes for exe.dev)

Yes, 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."

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?

>>karmaj+yQ3
If it's similar to cloudflare, then it should be usage based. That is you only pay for what is active. (ie: if you are running a task that is waiting on network for 1 hour, you don't pay for cpu but your app is loaded and you are paying for memory). So if your app is dormant (not using cpu or memory), you only pay for the storage you are using.

yeah reading further into the docs it looks like that’s the model. storage is pretty cheap, $.00068/gb-hr, so a 100GB disk runs you about 1.6 cents per day.

1.6 *dollars
