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!

Any more details about the Hyper Func?

Think a Docker-based, language-agnostic, unlimited version of "AWS Lambda". That's it!

Philosophically, does the hyper.sh approach reflect Exokernel's vision? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exokernel

I would say Unikernel is more close to that.

"All our servers are built on powerful Octo-Core machines" pretty much guarantees they're using some cheaper than E5 Xeons to save money, I'm wondering if it's something in the Xeon-D line. Has anyone specifically characterized what they're using? Could be Xeon D-1540s or similar, or they could also be selling 4-core hyperthreaded E3 Xeons as "8 core".

Edit: I went ahead and signed up for an account and made a container. The floating IP for the container appears to be an LA IP address. Their host appears to be ZenLayer, a Chinese hosting company that can apparently do co-location in LA, so while the IPs geolocate to China, it's possible they are indeed hosting in LA. The CPU is a E5-2630 v4. Original: I'm pretty sure they're entirely hosted on AWS. Given that they…

Another thing to remind you is, E5-2630v4 was released in Q1 2016, which is not an old CPU

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!

Wow, very good experience you guys are delivering here! Congratulations on shipping!

Little question, you guys said you started in Beijing, and that your next plans are NYC and Europe... Why did you leave Beijing? Didn't the local growth attract you?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I admit I'm a little behind on Docker but I thought google provided that with Kubernetes [1]? I work with JVM and servlerless is just not worth it for the JVM (not yet but maybe someday with better AOT). Thus I know very little on instant serverless deployment. I'm sure it is useful though.

Kubernetes lets you do stuff similar to this, but you still have to manage the infrastructure and the platform. It seems like with Hyper, you literally are just deploying an image to be run in a container. You don't have to worry about configuring and managing a Kubernetes or Swarm cluster. Probably not worth it for very large companies, but for startups and hobby projects, this greatly lowers the barrier to entry.

There is a separation of concerns slowly baked into Kubernetes in that as a normal user you shouldn't need to manage the infrastracture.

> serverless cron. damn, thank you. Anywhere I can see implementation details? Are you rolling your own system from the ground up, or using something like dkron ( http://dkron.io/ ) behind the scenes?

if you're interested in serverless cron you can use AWS lambda for the same experience
