DigitalOcean recently demoed their PaaS / provisioning offering at a NY Tech Meetup, showcasing instant provisioning of apps and services with real-time discovery and configuration of connected services. The demo was powered by the open source project Flynn, based on Docker, etcd, and other components. This new system aims to reduce wait times for spinning up virtual private servers (VPS) from under a minute to less than a second, allowing easy scaling out across droplets without needing to spin up new servers. The system is designed to be user-friendly, even for those unfamiliar with Docker, and provides real-time discovery of services, enabling dynamic reconfiguration as backing services come online or offline.
