Fly.io @fly.io · 24/07/2026Fly.io is going all-in on Computers for Agents. The reason is pretty simple: we think that agents (within a few years) are going to determine how almost all software is built and shipped. 310
Fly.io @fly.io · 14/07/2026Every Sprite comes with 100GB of storage, but you only pay for what you use. So go ahead and make a bunch. That’s kind of the point. sprites.dev 120

Fly.io @fly.io · 27/01/2026Built the world's simplest code runner in 5 mins with Sprites. This is doubly cool. First off, how it works: User writes some scary JavaScript, which then gets run in a new Sprite. Sprites are literally built for running random code, so bring on the footguns. 🧵 110
Fly.io @fly.io · 26/01/2026Sprites make it easy to connect stuff on the internet. Take Slack bots: easy to build, annoying to hook up locally and test. Sprites are first-class citizens of the internet, so you can just build your bot on one, get a public URL, and boom: it's plug-n-play ready. 040

Fly.io @fly.io · 23/01/2026Is that a TUI for visualizing your sprites MADE IN A SPRITE? Yes, yes it is. It lets you see all the sprites in your org, which ones are running, and organize them to get a better sense of which sprites work together. github.com/aezell/sprit... 030

Fly.io @fly.io · 21/01/2026We made "ball-point disposable computers" by committing three heresies: Killing user container images, running orchestration inside the VM, and backing disks with S3. The result? Instant boot, auto-sleep, and zero dockerfile misery. Machines are for servers; Sprites are for everything else. 🔗 ➡ 🧵 210
Fly.io @fly.io · 16/01/2026🤖 We made a thing that handles real AI workflows called Sprites.
