One thing I've been wondering about with Flynn is data persistence. I have an app already running that I'd like to move to Flynn for deployment; will it be easy to bring over a populated database and have it persist, shared, across instances of the app?

Currently there is a very alpha Postgres appliance[0] (including automatic cluster orchestration and a database provisioning API) included with Flynn and we'll be standardizing the appliance model and adding more in the future. Flynn datastore appliances run inside of containers and are managed by Flynn just like everything else and will include support for backups, HA/replication, etc. out of the box with close to zero configuration.

Thanks. It's been pretty tough to wait for Flynn's release. Great job so far, can't wait for it to get to stability so I can migrate!
