Hey everyone, cofounders of Redspread here, Mackenzie and Dan. We built Spread, our open source command line tool to build and deploy Docker to Kubernetes in one command, to enable rapid iteration with Kubernetes and provide the easiest way to deploy Docker to prod. Our mission is to enable people to own their own deployment processes and infrastructure, and we're very passionate about that (see our philosophy.md). W…

rolling updates to services would be nice. running this as a service (possibly deployed on the kubernetes cluster) to facilitate this via web hooks would be amazing.

What is your monetization strategy for this? (being open source)

Hey! If this workflow we're building is the git for Docker deployment, we'll make money on the GitHub - collaborative deployment tools built on top of this workflow.

Could you tell me the difference between Spread and [Helm]( https://github.com/helm/helm )? What is the advantage of using spread over helm?

Hey! Helm is a package manager like Homebrew or npm while we see ourselves as a versioned workflow similar to git

How is this any different than what google provides out of the box? I build a cluster and just deploy a container to a pod.

So we built Spread to be a workflow that improves on the usual `kubectl create -f ...` `kubectl describe services/example` experience by enabling rapid iteration with Kubernetes. Next on the roadmap is building the image and pushing it to a registry along with deploying to Kubernetes in one command. And it runs wherever Kubernetes runs - so you can use it beyond Google.

What will the tool set that this tool fits frictionlessly into look like?

So right now it's best for two sets of users: 1) those who are looking to deploy Docker to production but don't have any orchestrator set up - Spread makes it really easy to use Kubernetes 2) those who have a remote Kubernetes cluster running, often develop with Kubernetes and want to quickly be able to deploy to that cluster

We're adding a bunch of functionality for building images, pushing to Docker registries, and offline dev with Kubernetes.
