Phoenix creator here. I'm happy to answer any questions about this! Also worth noting that phoenix.new is a global Elixir cluster that spans the planet. If you sign up in Australia, you get an IDE and agent placed in Sydney.

Any takeaways on using Fly APIs for provisioning isolated environments? I'm looking into doing something similar to Phoenix.new but for a low-code server-less workflow system.

1 week of work to go from local-only to fly provisioned IDE machines with all the proxying. fly-replay is the unsung hero in this case, that's how we can route the *.phx.run urls to your running dev servers, how we proxy `git push` to phoenix.new to your IDE's git server, and how we frame your app preview within the IDE in a way that works with Safari (cross origin websocket iframes are a no go). We're also doing a bunch of other neat tricks involving object storage, which we'll write about at some point. Feel free to reach out in slack/email if you want to chat more.

Thanks, I might hit you up when I'm in the weeds of that feature.

Would love to read about some of the techniques for how you accomplished this.
