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?

new subscriptions will also work with
version: 1
in now.json
until full compatibility is achieved.(Notice that the new model also dramatically simplifies the gateway aspect of things)
Yes, I absolutely love the ability to use the filesystem itself instead of path aliases. Hosting all endpoints in a single source tree is killer DX
that's a very great way to do an incremental migration. Good decision. What I would do is set up an alias for your new v2 monorepo (e.g.: v2.api.company.com), and then use path alias for your current production app to start progressively migrating paths.
It's not even just the best possible DX. It builds faster. It's more secure, by isolating parts of the application from one another at execution time, but not in the source code organization.
Now you are speaking my language. I think that's the true way to scale realtime communication.
For example, your stateless endpoints can populate a queue that gets consumed by a client over a websocket connection
So, you don't put all your eggs into one server basket, and you neatly separate responsibilities.
I'm not as concerned as others on this thread, as all my projects will work fine on the new platform. That being said, I literally just migrated earlier this week from 1.0 to the serverless docker "v2" beta :/ I agree that this looks like the future, but why the rush to get rid of serverless docker? It is still an amazing product, that has a massive competitive advantage over any other offering I've seen! Why not two concurrent offerings? Now Lamba & Now Container?
I also loved merging the testing and build phase, and having that all triggered by a github push. It seems unclear how CI fits into this new paradigm. Is that something that would have to be triggered by the
builder
? thanks a lot for commenting. current discussions aside I think that now is an amazing innovator and pretty much everything you guys released this far is pretty much ground breaking. I would love to hear your thoughts on the issue of vendor lock-in / app portability though - as a lot of the stuff that is coming is quite unique to Zeit / now. do You think certain elements of zeits stack could become a standard outside of now?
the "rush" is in the interest of truth-seeking. We, and I, learned a tremendous lot from that beta. I learned what works and what doesn't. I truly think this new world shouldn't wait and our customers will benefit immensely from it.
I think these systems are all in competition to one another to a very large extent, and I think this is the winner.
