Is this similar to https://instavm.io/ ?

Never tried them, I think the weird thing about VM providers is the difference really all is in the execution. These guys seem great in concept but I don’t know enough about how they properly work.

sprites have weird lately, i think fly.io is having trouble with capacity in various locations. is the experience similar? can i just get console to one machine, work for a bit, logout. come back later, continue? how does i cost work if i log into a machine and do nothing on it? just hold the connection.

This will just work on us. We do auto suspend depending on your configured timeout. We'll pause your VM and when you come back the processes will be in the exact same state as when you left.

But your pricing page suggests that that is not available without a subscription: in the on-demand pricing section "persistent Snapshots" and "Persistent VM's" have an 'x'.

Can your service scale ram? like the way docker desktop does. Manual is fine.

yep you can choose ram + disk + cpu size

? You say 'yes' but you seem to be answering a different question. Docker desktop only makes me choose a max ram - it dynamically scales RAM usage. I don't need fully automatic like that, but the ability to vertically scale RAM for an existing instance is really important, particularly given the cost of RAM these days.
