Deis Labs

Sad news, but I'm not surprised with this. The complete ecosystem was "killed" (if that can be said) with K8s buzz and hipsterism (sorry guys, but I see K8s as Hadoop/BigData of modern days - a solution from a huge company that has no place in 90% setups). Alternatives like Deis [2] moved to K8s a long time ago. My favorite tool for some time, Rancher [3], did that as well.

I've been using Dokku [1] for a few years on a small setup, surprisingly without a single problem, taking into account it was written in "not-so-cool" bash. And I was considering Flynn as the next step if I need to scale it because Dokku doesn't have clustering support (added: looks like clustering support for Dokku is in work [4]).

After many checks, I got the impression Flynn simply wasn't there yet. Either because of low development pace, low number of supported appliances, or something else, I'm not sure. In the end, I picked up Ansible for more distributed installations.

Are you aware of Hephy Workflow by any chance? (Neé Deis Workflow)

If so, are you aware of the Porter project which is built on CNAB, (by I believe many of the same folks?)

I am with Team Hephy, and for the record I think this is super cool what you've done. I just think it's an awfully great coincidence that the name is so close to something else so nearby in the same space!

Plugins and other software that one might feel like customising.

As always, using the platform language is the best road to avoid additional development costs dealing with interoperability and tier 2 compatibility issues.

Although some stuff is now happening in Rust as well,
