We certainly took a lot of inspiration and leaned on the awesome experience of the nanobox team, but this is largely a completely different architecture.



Wasn't the Appsail nanobox? IIRC, it was planed to be DO's PaaS, so it's cancelled and then DO's PaaS is based on k8s instead?


Appsail was nanobox from what I saw, they redid it between appsail and "apps".


If Appsail was cancelled, what's the point of nanobox acquiring .. I wonder?


Maybe an acquihire? I don't recall seeing any of the nanobox people even mentioned or reply in any of the slack messages. So I am not really sure.


Can you tell us anything about the architecture?


This is what I found out by printing the environment variables: https://twitter.com/alexellisuk/status/1306343018488791040


We will be revealing a lot more about the architecture at our upcoming virtual conference called Deploy that is happening Nov 10-11th. There are a few sessions that touch on how the platform was implemented and I encourage you to tune in for those! (schedule to be announced soon). https://www.digitalocean.com/deploy/
