Great points and comparison to Rust. I'll tweak my view. Go is a pragmatic systems language. It's design and tooling is better than scripting languages for systems glue. There will be many places where it's not suitable vs C

How about Docker and other tools in the container space? Go is a great systems language. The stdlib is through and handling IO and pipes is safe and fast. Amazon is using as the mission critical ecs-agent that orchestrates their container s

Nice. I'm addicted to automatically running `gofmt` on .go file saves. Now I'm crazy sensitive to whitespace and formatting discrepancies that show up in .js or .css files from different environments. It seems like EditorConfig ha

Thank you, Garry! Your perspective, advice and support was invaluable through YC.

Be careful with the term "Cinderella program". My direct experience here is working with Hackbright Academy to meet more women than I was getting through the standard job application channels. Hackbright works attracts women from

Consider how the perspective of a director, in charge of a large team of engineers, can effect the entire engineering culture. If this director has a more human and compassionate perspective, she might help push back on all feature requests

Awesome. I can think of a ton of reasons a hiring manager would say "I can't do that." Not about race, but about remote and time zones. So kudos to you for trying something that opened you up to far more candidates, finding t

You can shift your notions of "qualified". You can hire junior engineers and mentor and train them to be successful. Then you can proactively advertise your positions to programs and organizations that have more minority participa

The ecosystem is changing so rapidly right now. One answer is to stick with whatever AWS offers. The EC2 Container Service (ECS) offers a practical solution to running your app as containers on a cluster of multiple servers without adding a

If you're comfortable deploying to AWS, I'm building an open source and free platform, Convox, that addresses your setup and deployment questions. Here are a couple guides that walk you through your first Docker cloud deployment:

You're absolutely right about still needing logging, scaling, configuration management and load balancing. Me and a team are working on another open-source project, Convox, that offers this on AWS. One differentiator is that we use &qu

We use Slack to support the open source development for Convox (open source PaaS). The main benefits are: Mobile client with push notification First class photos, files, code snippets Moderation tools Same tool for private organization chat

Sure! In summary Triton is really awesome but it needs a load balancing service for starters... http://stackshare.io/convox/amazon-ecs-vs-joyent-triton

Containers are here to stay and almost certainly will be the new abstraction of computation. My big question is around a service like AWS Lambda. Is that not already the logical conclusion of container based computation? If magic units of c

by nzoschke 11y ago
I'm not disappointed. It's great to see Rackspace competing in container services. But I agree... At this level of abstraction ECS is far more attractive because of the rest of the AWS services and ecosystem. Joyent deserves a lot

In SF I always use Uber over taxis for the better experience of hailing and paying for a ride. But within the last year I notice every day how bad Uber drivers are severely affecting the city for the worse. So many uber drivers don't k

Great idea and great execution. SSH by instance ID is a tool I need right now but never found the time to build. I'll give jungle a spin!

Great release! I bought a new MacBook 2 days ago, and setting it up has never been easier. Almost all of my development takes place in a Docker environment now, and the Docker ToolBox makes installing that a breeze. Less XCode, Homebrew, ru

Convox co-founder here. Happy to answer your questions about Convox, AWS, Heroku, YC, open-source business models, and more...

Interesting comparison. So far one of the best applications is to use Convox to spin up a lot of resources for data science. Not dissimilar to what a black hat would do with a botnet for cracking passwords.

So the main question I have is... Obviously someone has to do the invention. How will this pan out after all these container tools settle? What if Kubernetes is it? The primary solid implementation of the hardest parts of distributed state

Author of the post and core member of Convox here. Happy to answer any questions about this engineering strategy and all things Convox and ECS.

There is a tremendous amount of awesome work happening in this space. Tsuru is one such great project, thanks for adding it to the thread. One big difference is that Convox uses managed services over writing and running our own components.

How about something like: "The privacy of your own data center." To me, AWS VPC is a game-changer for privacy. The isolation and network configuration options satisfy every need of a "private cloud" or "behind the f
