I was surprised to hear that a cutting edge social media app uses Mesos. Why did they choose that over other options?
Apple is also a big Mesos user, but also moving to k8s.
Then Mesosphere (a company) wanted to bring it to the enterprise market but at the time was competing with Kubernetes... and we all know who won.
> Mesos began as a research project in the UC Berkeley RAD Lab by then PhD students Benjamin Hindman, Andy Konwinski, and Matei Zaharia, as well as professor Ion Stoica.
> The social networking site Twitter began using Mesos and Apache Aurora in 2010, after Hindman gave a presentation to a group of Twitter engineers.
