#12Never heard of it but the product looks pretty compelling. Is there any provision for running multiple apps on one server instance?
That's the highest requested feature! Should be available in Q1 of 2018.
Add my vote for this one. I'm running a dokku server right now for this reason but would rather not.

Were you running a docker image on custom VMs on app engine? Just wondering how easy the transition was. Are you still running on Google cloud instances via nanobox?

#14I haven't heard of this before, but it looks like it's similar to Docker compose or maybe a layer on top? And insight or comparison as to why you would use this over other tools.
It’s a layer on top. I think it simplifies deployment to various services that may or may not support Docker so well.

#15I need this. To bad it doesn't support deployments to packet.net.

#16Can anyone using this give us a report on the developer experience? Even simple quality of life stuff is useful like how easy is it to see logs for running containers, how fast are the deploys, etc.
Thanks!

i was using flex python 3 engine, not custom.
I am not running on GCP anymore, I switched to Linode because it's cheaper ($5 instance) and deployed using nanobox.
I deployed to app engine using app engine deployment, Linode using nanobox

Super easy. Deploys are very quick, it's able to do it all with no downtime.
Logs can be accessed through a Dashboard and they're streamed in live, very handy for debugging. You can also go back through the log history too though.
I highly recommend.
