In the works, apparently: https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/blob/main...
LayerCI / WebApp.io did mention that could migrate VMs... Fly.io should steal that tech https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25980897
This is really really exciting! I hope it enables more product built on top of full VMs with fast UX/DX.
I just wish I knew about this earlier because from what I read, I think we at Devbook [1] built pretty similar service for our product. We are using Docker to "describe" the VM's environment, our booting times are in the similar numbers, we are using Nomad for orchestration, and we are also using Firecracker :). We basically built are own serverless platform. I need to compare our current pricing to Fly's.
