    It's interesting how concerns around the long-term effects of EMF exposure that we heard about fairly frequently in the early days of widespread cell phone usage seem to have virtu…

    From both the blog post and the website, it's not clear to me what this buys me over plain Docker (or possibly Docker + Compose). Is this a Compose competitor?

    You're absolutely right. That's why Lessig's proposed Citizen Equality Act has multi-member districts with ranked choice voting (effectively ending gerrymandering) as the second ma…

    I saw that same presentation at the same event, but came away with a very different impression: the container management they showed was implemented completely outside of docker it…

    How do these compare to https://www.wisebanyan.com ? It seems to be roughly the same idea, but without any fees at all (I haven't used any of them, so I'm likely missing something)…

    ZeroRPC uses Gevent for concurrency Faults are handled differently depending on whether they are ZeroRPC-layer errors or application errors. To maintain the integrity of the connec…

    While you're right that EC2 is pretty close the metal, dotCloud starts at a very different level of abstraction. On most VPS providers (as with dedicated hosting) the first questio…

    I see there being two, somewhat distinct, categories of players: those with a realtime-first, focus (Meteor, Firebase and, now, dotCloud.js) and those that take more of a tradition…

    To clarify: the dotCloud pricing hasn't actually changed yet , the new pricing has been released to a limited group to collect initial feedback, and will likely be altered before i…

    Either of the two workflows you mention are easily doable with dotCloud. Building locally (as you do today) should be fine: the dotCloud command line client uses git or hg (whichev…

    The main problems I ran into when upgrading were with the new timezone support, but it was easy to just disable it (set `USE_TZ = False`) until I have a real need for the feature (…

    I'm really surprised and sorry to hear that. We usually have pretty prompt support replies, and generally give really thorough answers, since support is mostly handled by core engi…

    Sorry to hear things that you're having trouble with dotCloud. A couple quick questions: First, which requirements are you putting in your dotcloud.yml? In general, pip-installable…

    dotCloud definitely simplifies deployment over raw AWS, but does cost a bit more on a per-resource-unit basis (understandable, given the platform's value is primarily in the time-s…
