Flynn looks very exciting, congrats! I am having trouble figuring out what the minimal and recommended setups would be across providers. And what exactly happens when I issue scale commands? I'm looking to get an idea of costs to compare different providers, but also to compare against running on heroku. Thanks!

Thanks!

Minimum high availability setup would be three nodes with 1GB of memory each, more memory if you're using a heavier application framework like Rails.

When you run a scale command Flynn creates new application containers that are balanced across the cluster, so if you scaled to six instances with three hosts in the cluster, you'd end up with two instances on each of the three hosts.
