convox

If anyone here would like an invitation to the Convox #public Slack channel please email me at matt@convox.com.

Hit us up via the www.convox.com Intercom button or support@convox.com if you have any questions.

We have formed a business behind convox and current have a small team working on it full time.

What does it take it to adapt Convox to be installed on a baremetal server like Hetzner?

We have a few people using Convox to run and scale workers without a web app.

One big difference is that Convox uses managed services over writing and running our own components.

Empire and Convox are kinda like brothers and sisters, both really similar in implementation and philosophy.

We host all of our own internal infrastructure on Convox and have been very happy.

Does Convox provide a convenient way to set up SSL for custom domains?

The primary difference is that Convox is backed by a company for which this is our product and has a full-time team dedicated to it.

@ddollar: This is Michael from Livecoding.tv Do you want to demo Convox live on Livecoding.tv?

Hey I'm Matt, another member of the Convox core team.

The "convox" stack the installer creates makes a VPC, ASG, ECS cluster and ELB, and registers an ECS task and service for the API and private registry.

An app stack the "convox deploy" command creates makes ECS tasks and services and an ELB for all the containers in `docker-compose.yml`, and creates a Kinesis stream for app logs.

Could someone familiar with Convox give us a brief answer to the question "how is this different from the myriad DevOps tools that Amazon provides for AWS?"

Convox also supports streaming logs, which is pretty awesome (although, coming soon to Empire too:)).

Convox seems extremely interesting to me, since our goal is a single-server heroku experience.

Anything that can run in a Docker container can run on on Convox.
