Hi everyone! I built a hosting platform called https://www.rompli.com. It can host any docker container that listens on HTTP. The web app is built entirely in meteor and therefore has first class support for meteor applications (sticky sessions, websockets, ssl).<p><i></i>How much does it cost?<i></i>
It is currently in beta which means two things. 1. It's free. 2. You may only have up to five (5) containers.<p><i></i>What do I get for one container?<i></i>
One container is 512MB memory with 0.5 ECU compute. You also get single click coordinated rolling updates, and single click scaling.<p><i></i>How do I deploy my meteor app with Rompli?<i></i>

https://medium.com/@isohaze/how-to-use-your-own-domain-on-rompli-89f8c6c91d96#.kwvbzbodi<p><i></i>Is there a FAQ?<i></i>
Yes: https://www.rompli.com/faq<p><i></i>What is the tech stack?<i></i>
The webapp is written entirely in meteor@1.3.4. The container orchestration is implemented with [Docker Swarm](https://docs.docker.com/swarm/). Nginx is used for loadbalancing and I have an Elastic Load Balancer in front of the nginx servers.<p><i></i>Why is it named Rompli?<i></i>
It got the name because docker containers work really well in groups and a group of otters is called a romp. Also the underlying technology is using [The Raft Consensus Algorithm](https://raft.github.io/) and a large group of otters is also known as a raft.<p>I hope you try it out and give me feedback!<p>Thanks,
Kris
Now that docker makes starting a cluster quite easy. Why do developers get excited by such a service? I'm trying to understand what they're looking for and how to service them better
Never got a confirmation email so I couldn't try it out. There is no re-send functionality.<p>If this was coupled with a docker build service I would use it for sure.
