clarify future support of docker on now platform
November 8, 2018 at 6:21pmIt seems zeit is moving away from allowing customers to utilize Docker as a common 'primitive'; would you kindly clarify this?

Please don't forget the Apollo community :D I know you guys have a lot to handle right now, but we were super excited to host everything on now. I hope with get more details on this new approach on the coming weeks
I meant it when I wrote in the blog post that my main priority is to address all the customer workloads perfectly.
I also wouldn't be calling this 2.0 if we had to reject entire classes of interesting applications.
And I'm happy to jump on a call with any teams that need further reassurance.
I am sorry. I must be missing something. What does this mean exactly? "00% confident that this is the right direction for the platform"? Does this mean you do not believe that docker is a good tool for production deployments? The only alternative interpretation I can make, is that the Zeit Now platform has many more non-docker than docker deployments, and then, it makes sense from Now's perspective, but it also means a "hard goodbye" to anyone seeking docker builds.
what is your approach to "address all the customer workloads perfectly"? Is there a place we can submit use-cases that don't have an apparent fit for 2.0?
we are aware of several of them, please let me know if I forgot any:
- GraphQL servers like Apollo Server
- WebSocket subscriptions
- Control loops (e.g.: tailing a cursor from a database)
- Cron jobs
All of these will be addressed, and others as well!
Can we still create an entire application on now 1.0 and choose a 1.0 plan? I definitely can't use 2.0 in it's current state.
I think , the
now.json
should accept all versions. It will make all of us happy ! it does
that was never possible to host to begin with, we only ever supported non-durable workloads
But we definitely want to make it super easy to connect and set up elasticsearch clusters
That's a big use-case we are looking into.
