This really sucks. I not only like fly a lot, I have two production apps; thousands in annual creds up for renewal soon; and some mildly embarrassing discussions about migrations to have.
sucks: fly backburnering the app platform to build sprites.

Hard to interpret that as anything but the thing I like being backburnered. Which is how it goes, but sucks.
Ah, that's fair! I just got the impression that other people on this thread were axiomatically deriving that we were killing Machines, rather than just shifting the roadmap towards Sprites.
Well, I do interpret this is step one towards a forthcoming post titled "Our Incredible Journey [with Fly Machines]"...
Whether that comes to pass depends on sprite uptake and so forth, but I believe it to be a lot more likely than I did a month ago. So, like I said, bummed, because fly is genuinely nice and I dislike using aws.
That's nice of you to say, and I appreciate it. I'd be sad in the event you're describing too! I spent a lot of time on Fly Machines (not nearly as much as JP and Peter, though).
