In this edition of Fly.io's Logbook post, several new features and improvements have been introduced. Users can now expand storage volumes on their apps, and the $99 Pro Plan includes usage credits equivalent to its price. Additionally, users with monthly resource usage over $99 will receive support by email. The changelog has been divided into sections for better organization, focusing mainly on flyctl improvements. Other updates include SOC2 compliance, added SFTP support to Hallpass, and personal organizations are no longer restricted. Furthermore, the transit provider has been updated with BGP routing announcement changes, improving latency for customers. The Heroku webhook handling has also been improved, and an internal walkthrough on updating customer account information in Stripe has been written. Several bugs have been fixed, including issues with autoscaling and the Fly Redis image. Documentation updates include details on mounting persistent volumes via the machines API and Laravel docs improvements. The blog post "The Serverless Server" discusses building a fictitious Functions-as-a-Service service from scratch. For flyctl, users can now set LOG_LEVEL=debug to format and colorize JSON requests and responses for readability. Other updates include deprecating fly create in favor of fly apps create, fixing a regression in fly launch for Phoenix apps, improving the Laravel launcher, and splitting up flyctl launch scanners. For Flyctl & Machines, users can now use machine-based apps with fly deploy and view attached volumes with fly machine status. The dashboard UI has also been updated with various improvements and bug fixes.
