What Gets Destroyed

Machine - Fly.io machine is stopped and removed

Destroying a deployment does not delete:

Build logs (kept for audit)

Destroy deployment dep_abc123xyz?

  Name:     my-api
  Status:   ● ready
  URL:      https://my-api-xyz.fly.dev

  This will:
  • Stop and remove the machine
  • Delete custom domain configuration
  • Make the URL unavailable

Continue? [y/N]: 

Skip with --force:

runtm destroy dep_abc123xyz --force
