I've been using Flynn for a while now. Unfortunately there's always something that entirely bricks the cluster eventually. Sometimes a node will reboot unexpectedly (as happens with servers) and the cluster slowly implodes from there, sometimes I'll just get a monitoring alert that all the sites hosted on it have gone down for no apparent reason. They announced during their 1.0 release that Flynn is now production ready but I have to disagree at this time. I do honestly love…

corobo·253-point thread·

Could someone point out to me (non superficial) differences between various service discovery projects that have popped up recently like, [1]. etcd [2] skydock [3] consul [4] zookeper ( ok this is not new) [5] flynn They all seem to be doing the exact same to me. 1. https://github.com/coreos/etcd 2. https://github.com/crosbymichael/skydock 3. https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/ 5.https://flynn.io/ Edit: flynn uses discoverd (https://github.com/flynn/discoverd)

The docs are wonderfully readable. The writing is clear, concise, and devoid of fluff. Great work!
