They did. It was in the article.

dotCloud did rename itself to Docker, but it sold off its original "dotCloud"-branded PAAS to cloudControl. cloudControl is shutting down the dotCloud service, but former dotCloud company (i.e. Docker) is still alive and well.

Yep ... but I wouldn't say it's a YC graduate shutting down. A company that bought a "product line" from them is shutting down.

#8I'm sure I'm not the only person that had to check the year and make sure that there was a February 29th this year, and that this wasn't some sort of early April Fools joke.

#9The idea of PaaS is great but if developers can't afford the services, they'll all shut down. It seems to be the norm these days to host your app with one provider and host your databases elsewhere. Imagine paying for MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, MySQL, etc etc, I'd rather get a dedicated server and host everything on it. Far cheaper and great for learning.
One PaaS with developers in mind is https://nodechef.com It would be interesting to see how they do.
