Yeah, it's definitely something we want to support in the future. Autoscaling requires building some components that are aware of and can communicate the underlying infrastructure APIs (AWS, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean, OpenStack, etc.) c

Flynn itself doesn't communicate with infrastructure APIs currently, but you could hook this up so that there is a base set of three servers that are always running and then an autoscaling group that watched your metrics or a schedule

Awesome, thanks for the feedback!

If Heroku works for you, that's fine, but for lots of people it doesn't. For example, Heroku only supports HTTP, not TCP. There are a number of technical limitations Heroku places on apps that other platforms like Flynn don't

Yeah, our security roadmap will get us to multi-tenancy eventually. Due to the security posture of the Linux kernel, we won't recommend running untrusted code side-by-side on the same hosts as more sensitive workloads, but we plan to h

I'd love to hear about any trouble you ran into while trying Flynn so that we can fix it! Feel free to send me an email: jonathan@flynn.io Convox is a great pick if you want to use AWS-specific services for your entire stack. Instead o

Great question! We designed Flynn to solve a bunch of the common problems around running apps in production. This means that we're working full-time just on the automation and stability of your production environment. As you grow and s

Correct. By default app slugs are stored as large objects in the built-in Postgres cluster, to allow deployment without external dependencies. For production we recommend moving to AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Storage. Garbage col

This would be great! The open source Parse server ( https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server ) already works on Flynn, and we can't wait until someone implements an open source system like Lambda.

The space is too complex to do a chart, as a bunch of details are not directly comparable. Many people who choose Flynn are not directly comparing us to hosted platforms, as they want more control over their infrastructure (where they run i

Our experience at Flynn is that there are a few common scenarios: - Small and side projects run well without supervision. - Existing ops teams can manage Flynn without much additional effort. - Medium sized teams that don't want an int

Thanks for using Flynn! > There are still a couple of rough edges, specifically around upgrading and persistence across power failure Indeed, we have been finding and fixing bugs in these two areas lately, and things have been improving.

Hey, I'm a co-founder of Flynn. Flynn is entirely open source and BSD-licensed ( https://github.com/flynn/flynn ). You can run Flynn on any infrastructure without paying us anything. The price you reference is for o

Obviously I'm biased, but here's my take: Flynn has a larger technical scope, covering everything from the details of how container are run all the way up to the user interface used to deploy applications. We also run highly avail

Flynn aims to be the easiest to use among the available tools. We intentionally limit the amount of configuration necessary to get up and running and don't require you to bring together a bunch of components to make a stack that works.

Flynn is designed to be self-healing, if a server goes offline it will recover immediately and automatically and no confirmed writes will be dropped. We use a combination of Raft for service discovery and leader election, along with multipl

I'm not aware of any support for building images using Dockerfiles in rkt. My understanding is that the Dockerfile build system is embedded in the docker daemon.

Kubernetes didn't exist when we started, so we ended up building our own scheduling system and management APIs. So it wouldn't really be "adding" support, instead we'd need to switch several layers of the system to
