Looks like this might be loosely related to Mitchell Hashimoto [1], who makes Vagrant.

Both are HashiCorp projects.

Indeed, I'm one of the creators of the project. See here: http://www.serfdom.io/community.html :)

I'm jumping on a plane right now (a couple hours) but I'd be happy to answer any questions related to Serf once I land. Just leave them here and I'll give it my best shot! We've dreamt of something like Serf for quite awhile and I'm glad it is now a reality.

Some recommended URLs if you're curious what the point is:

"What is Serf?" http://www.serfdom.io/intro/index.html

"Use Cases" http://www.serfdom.io/intro/use-cases.html

Comparison to Other Software: http://www.serfdom.io/intro/vs-other-sw.html

For the CS nerds, the internals/protocols/papers behind Serf: http://www.serfdom.io/docs/internals/gossip.html

Also, I apologize the site isn't very mobile friendly right now. Unfortunately I can write a lamport clock implementation, but CSS is just crazytown.

The title needs to be improved. "A decentralized, highly available, fault tolerant solution..." for what? The title should include "for service discovery and orchestration".
