Interesting, do you have plans to support GPU as well? I can see this is a bottom up approach: put a low load instance close to the user for reads and have a globally synced write that should handle race conditions etc

Are there cold start delays? From the moment I type domain.com is it going to spin up a fly instance closest to me and serve the SQLite database reads?

I'm gonna give this a go this weekend to see what it can do

This is getting into Fly.io stuff and not WunderBase or SQLite stuff. GPU is a ways off for us: the programming interface for GPUs is tricky to implement with full isolation between VMs. The post we're commenting on talks a bit about cold start delays (a couple hundred milliseconds).
