where heroku is a platform-as-a-service for hosting your rails/node/whatever websites/webapps
- jacques_chester 12y agoI work on PaaS (Cloud Foundry) for my day job. There's a big gap between the initial weekend-project implentation and all the many, many details that are required to build a full-featured one that "just works".
- sciurus 12y agoFlynn has a much, much larger scope than Dokku or arguably even Heroku. To complete your quote: "We knew we wanted something like Heroku that we could host ourselves, but we also knew that a Heroku clone wasn’t enough. We needed something suited to today’s needs. It wasn’t just about deploying stateless web apps, it was scaling them, provisioning and managing databases, and ideally the ability to run anything that could run on Linux all inside a single platform." Another product mentioned in this thread is Deis, "a lightweight PaaS with a Heroku-inspired workflow". ~ http://deis.io/overview/ http://deis.io/overview/
