> 1) Is this tool the same as Docker Swarm?
No, it is much higher level. You could think of it as open source Heroku, apps are deployed using buildpacks and a PostgreSQL cluster is included.
> 2) Has the code been security-audited?
Not yet. We've been focusing on stability, work on internal security will be starting soon. You can expose ports 80/443 to the Internet, but shouldn't run untrusted code on it. See here for more details: https://flynn.io/docs/security https://flynn.io/docs/security
> 3) Can I use this as a combination of Puppet/Chef + Swarm?
For most use cases it would replace those tools.
> Lastly, who is this tool for? The guy running his 1 VPS or the startup running their 50 AWS medium instances?
All of the above, though we recommend at least three instances for high availability and haven't tested large clusters yet.
