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?

Can you please write the prices for on-demand v1 here? I can't seem to find them on zeit.co since Now v2 has been announced
The difference between Docker and Now is, however, that Docker can be deployed everywhere, also on premise.
the main premise of of serverless is that request-response invocations very rarely run 24x7 :)
you literally only pay for what you truly use
vs having dead space allocated in a server
the same will be 100% possible for Now 2.0, and that's why we're not locking you in and make you change your code
And you'll actually have a greater variety of deployment targets
For example, let's say you go to a company that really strongly prefers using Google Cloud. You'll be able to tell us that you want your deployments to be in affinity to a particular Google Cloud region or account.
Or, let's say you want to go legacy mode and run it in servers that run 24 x 7 that you have to actively monitor and observe and get paged for.
But that's when you start to realize that the whole enterprise of running things on premise will make little sense.
Or things running quickly on-demand and paying no maintenance costs
The equation becomes quite simple.
In fact, we are doing that because we want to welcome more devs to our platform
But anyone today could be writing a flask wrapper
I feel your pain, I just did that this last week
