Interesting, will give it a look. For small container-based projects I've been using bluemix[1] and it's very simple and cli-friendly. the web dashboard could use some help, but it works. Definitively light years more simple than aws or kubernetes for simple projects.

Funny to see Deis is not mentioned here. It runs on top of Kubernetes and seems to deliver quite a similar experience to Hyper. Compared to Hyper, Deis seems a bit more towards the Heroku style of doing things, which is not a bad thing at all. And the Deis team came up with Helm which is an amazing way to deploy whole sets of containers as if your are installing packages with a package manager.

I haven't used Deis but I have used Dokku and Flynn. I found both easy to get started with. Flynn works well with DO and AWS although I couldn't get it to work with any third-party hosts (ssh auth issues). Took me about an hour to setup 3 load balanced nodes and deploy their test go app which writes to Postgres. There are issues with Flynn though: - Missing Dokku's rich plugin support (Let's Encrypt is a breeze on Do…

Really like the look of this, feels VERY Digital Ocean-esque from the UI (which is awesome). As a big fan of DO I'm looking forward to playing with it! Edit: One interesting thing I've noticed is that I was charged a dollar for an IP address that I released after 1 minute and 11 seconds. I'd have assumed that it would have been by the second as well. However: fip 209.177.88.125 - 2016/11/07 16:27:08 2016/11/07 16:28:…

At least now, it warns you about this:

% hyper fip allocate 1

Please note that Floating IP (FIP) is billed monthly. The billing begins when a new IP is allocated, ends when it is released. Partial month is treated as a entire month. Do you want to continue? [y/n]:

Hey all, founder is here. I'd like to thank you for your votes here. Really appreciate! Also, I just want to share our public roadmap: https://trello.com/b/7fEwaPRd/roadmap . Feel free to comment. It actually helps a lot for us to prioritize. Thanks!

Is it possible to easily run a local Hyper backend on, say, my mac laptop? I'd like to learn and experiment, but without "running the meter" and without sending my bits off of my laptop, for the time being. If I find Hyper appealing, I'll certainly be willing to pay to deploy/move projects to your service!

It's almost the same as using docker locally.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Where is Hyper.sh (specifically its containers) actually hosted? As I explained in my other comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12892243 it really feels like Hyper.sh is hosted on Amazon, and there were references to that fact before, and you guys are trying to minimize that in your site now. If you're on Amazon, that's OK. I don't think that minimizes how cool this technology is and how much easier it makes…

LA according to their website.

Where as in what infrastructure provider, not the physical location of the data center.

Google Cloud is not far from this. Basically instead of "hyper" you are typing "gcloud". Google Cloud is far more complicated but its tools so far are pretty good. I couldn't find how you do custom networks with Hyper. Also as a Java + Postgres shop 16 Gigs memory (L3) is just not enough. Per second also seems overkill. Google Cloud has per minute. It doesn't seem to make sense for "effortless". If you are that inter…

How long does it take to launch an instance using gcloud docker run? We tried Joyent Triton, which is almost identical to Hyper, but among other big problems it took a LONG time to launch containers. Minutes.

What underlying filesystem does Hyper use?

I ask because, on Triton, cloning a ZFS dataset should be very fast, because it is a zero copy operation. It basically consists of copying the metadata for the data set attributes and root directory. So in principle, Triton could perform competitively.
