## Project Setup

### fly.toml

```toml
app = "my-app"
primary_region = "ord"

[build]
  dockerfile = "Dockerfile"

[http_service]
  internal_port = 3000
  force_https = true
  auto_stop_machines = true
  auto_start_machines = true
  min_machines_running = 1

  [http_service.concurrency]
    type = "requests"
    hard_limit = 250
    soft_limit = 200

[[vm]]
  cpu_kind = "shared"
  cpus = 1
  memory_mb = 256

Basic Dockerfile

FROM node:20-alpine

WORKDIR /app

COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci --only=production

COPY . .
RUN npm run build

EXPOSE 3000

CMD ["node", "dist/index.js"]

Deployment

Deploy from Git

# First deploy creates app
fly launch

# Subsequent deploys
fly deploy

# Deploy specific Dockerfile
fly deploy --dockerfile Dockerfile.prod

# Deploy with build args
fly deploy --build-arg API_KEY=$API_KEY

Deploy Strategies

[deploy]
  strategy = "rolling"  # default
  # strategy = "immediate"
  # strategy = "canary"
  # strategy = "bluegreen"

Regions

Multi-Region Deployment

# Add regions
fly regions add ams lhr syd

# List regions
fly regions list

# Remove region
fly regions remove syd

Region Configuration

app = "my-app"
primary_region = "ord"

# Scale to multiple regions
[[vm]]
  memory = "256mb"
  cpu_kind = "shared"
  cpus = 1

  [vm.processes]
    web = 2  # 2 machines per region

# api.internal:3000

Static IPs

# Allocate IPv4 (paid)
fly ips allocate-v4

# List IPs
fly ips list
