Very nit-picky comment, but: Can you explain in one or two sentences what the value proposition is?

I might be dense, but it took me quite a bit of clicking around, reading HN comments, and poking at the Omega paper to understand what you want to do their. (Well, I think I understand. The "private Heroku" line points in the right direction, at least)




Flynn is the product ops should provide to developers.

Flynn is a single platform that runs all your services from databases to applications to individual Linux processes. With Flynn ops teams can stop being consultants and start providing a single product to their internal "customers". Basically you can deploy and scale whatever you want all in one place on any infrastructure without having to think about individual hosts.


Yes. I read the site, as I said. Reposting the text from there is kind of pointless, no?

I don't ultimately care one way or another - it was meant as friendly feedback that it's unclear right now. You'll notice that quite a few of the comments also said something to the effect of "I guess it does this". Which means it's not entirely clear what it does to more people than just me.
