I've been impressed with what the Flynn team has gotten done since my time with them at Y Combinator. The cloud hosting and containerization open source world has gotten a lot more complicated and powerful.
What is super interesting about Flynn is that they've captured exactly what made Heroku phenomenally great and made it as simple to run on your own servers. This is a refreshing take that is now battle hardened. It's exactly what the DevOps world needs since all the complexity also makes it that much harder for people to get started and get off the ground.
It will be nice to put the information about the license in the footer or some place visible. It says "open source" everywhere, but can't find the license?
@overworkedasian Dokku is a really good example of what you can build quickly with a small amount of code when you limit your scope. Flynn is totally compatible with apps that run on Dokku, so if you want to scale past one server, Flynn is a great fit.

@_pascalandy Probably! Flynn is a solution that "just works" out of the box, so you can push app repos and Docker images and have them be deployed in a highly available configuration with databases and load balancing, easy rollbacks, log aggregation, and a bunch of other features without doing any work.
If you're just using vanilla Docker, getting to the point where you can do all that tends to be a lot of work and then you have to maintain it once you get everything working. With Flynn, we've already taken care of building the platform, and you can focus on building your apps instead of wrangling infrastructure.
