If I'm not mistaken, V1 just takes normal Node apps and wraps them in a Docker container. At least, that's how they handle deploying to platforms outside of Zeit such as AWS. V2 just makes that process explicit and normalized across all languages/frameworks
- sholladay 8y agoI believe you are correct that v1 uses Docker behind the scenes. And that's fine with me so long as it doesn't infect my project, which hasn't been a problem until now. The beauty of Zeit's v1 platform was precisely that it would take my code and run it smoothly with no fancy configuration or modifications. It Just Works. I generally prefer explicit behavior, but this is a case where the behavior is not something I want to know or care about. My app should run on any common platform without special configuration or modification. And it does, everywhere... except on Now v2. I wanted to like it, but the desire is just not there. Maybe I'll keep using them for DNS but host elsewhere. Zeit's command line experience is top notch and I'd like to keep that aspect where I can.
