We're very excited to be joining Docker! Their technology is great and the momentum behind them is really impressive. Feel free to ask questions, I'll be around a little this evening (based in Paris).
How will the Infinit team and product benefit from Docker's acquisition? What sort of products and services do you plan to introduce that would have been more difficult to achieve prior? Thanks!
We've been focusing more and more on containers lately, and we quickly discovered our technology was a great fit in the docker ecosytsem (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0m-XwCoxo0&list=PLkA60AVN3h...). For us it means being able to focus on our preferred use case (Linux/backend) with more horsepower and less financial pressure.
I wonder if there have been any cases of consciously using the phrase "incredible journey" as a form of hidden message. When you want to consciously communicate to your users "realistically, everything's gonna be shut down 6 months or a year from now, with little notice", but are prohibited from doing anything but put on a smiling face.
The performance is very dependent on how you plan to use the FS. I would recommend joining us on Slack so we can chat directly and see how you'd like to use it: https://infinit.sh/#slack
The Achilles heel of Docker is not caching all artifacts.
There needs to be a --cache-only option where it pulls packages to the host then copies them into the container. Right now you have to do a two container build where the first pulls packages, you copy them out for archival/caching, then copy them into a second container for the build.
I guess another solution would be to have the base container pull the packages but not install anything. The child container would actually do the build then clean up.

Reads almost as satire, given https://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/
For instance, when I was younger, "hooking up" just meant making a connection or meeting up

So ephemeral applications are not hip?
