Show HN: Heroku/Fly.io-like app deployments to Cloudflare Containers

Nice work! The Cloudflare Containers DX gap is real - setting up Wrangler + Durable Objects + Container bindings just to run a Docker image is way too much ceremony. Having a simple `deploy` command that handles all that plumbing is exactly what the ecosystem needs.

Question: how does cold start compare to Fly.io? Since these are Firecracker VMs under the hood, I'd expect similar performance, but curious if the Cloudflare routing layer adds overhead.

Thanks! Based on my impressions CF Containers are slower to boot but have lower latency later. I moved some test apps from DigitalOcean App and I saw 10-20% improvements in loading time (which is different what you asked since DigitalOcean is probably more k8s than firecracker, but just to share my experience).
