Glad to see Deis still alive. The developer tools/cloud devops field doesn't pay but it is important to have smaller players like Deis and Flynn around otherwise we would all be forced to suck from the teats of the AWS-GOOG-MSFT oligopoly.

I direct your attention to the footer of the page, which says:

"Deis Labs: Open Source from Microsoft Azure."

My experience of working with fiendish teat-touting oligopolists is that the folks at the coalface are just folks. Google engineers: just folks. Microsoft engineers: just folks. IBM, Red Hat, SAP, Heroku/Salesforce, VMware: all just folks.

Most of the nonsense comes from upper managements, so far as I am able to determine.

I missed the acquisition, this is a tragedy for open source but I suppose it is great for the Deis team.

Is https://flynn.io/ still alive?

They're still very active and now much more insulated from the danger of their employer running out of money and thereafter being scattered to the four winds. Maybe it's not a tragedy.
