This is quite fascinating in terms of "one-click to build projects". The engineering-complexity required to build so many different projects with "1-click" must have been a really fun challenge for the Koding and Gitlab teams.

Although I suspect that not every project is 1-click buildable, so maybe it's just ones that support Docker/containers?

Hi, any project can be made buildable, it's not related with containers it can be any kind of resource you need like an c3.xlarge aws instance. You can see an example stack template to make GitLab itself a 1-click-to-build project https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/709fa3ace13ebac...

Which is basically creating an aws instance (c3.xlarge) with 30G of disk space and with a ubuntu ami then installs and builds GitLab-CE on it.
