Docker acquired Tutum (http://tutum.co) not so long ago. I've been using it for a few months and pretty impressed if anyone is looking for a Heroku for Docker it's the closest thing so far I'd say...

Looks cool. I have been using Deis for a while, is tutum 100% hosted? I heard "heroku for docker" and immediately thought of Deis, which is not quite hosted, but Bring your own Cloud.

Wondering how tutum compares... I see it has a heroku-ish frontend, which is something missing in Deis, I assume is coming later via Kubernetes, or maybe in v2.

Check out Giant Swarm as well. Full orchestration stack, team based in Germany/Europe, and are preparing a release of a downloadable version in the first part of 2016.

Thanks! That's really interesting. The "Whatever runs in a Docker Container runs on Giant Swarm" promise is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Deis has currently a limitation that it's really only for services that work with only one port exposed, and that port should be serving HTTP.

The fact that right on the welcome page they suggest an elasticsearch node as a Giant Swarm consumer, is really promising, since that's probably one of the first things I'd want to try and spin up on my production cluster, and Deis can't really deal with that currently inside of its provided framework.

>> The SEC filing doesn’t say how much Oracle paid for the startup. It was founded in 2014 and had raised $4.5 million. The documents do indicate that Oracle has paid roughly $1.3 million to take over employees’ stock options and equity awards. It looks like StackEngine employs five people, according to its “team” page.

Textbook aqui-hire.
