"It is just a flat file. How much harder can it be?"

It is easy to make something harder than it should be. It is hard to take something complex and make it truly simple. flyctl launch does an amazing job at providing a simple interface to the utterly complex task of generating deployment resources, especially now that we are living in a containerd (erm, firecracker) world.

This gist is for anyone who, like me, thinks they know better than to read all of the documentation and therefore necessari
