Engine Yard buys OpDemand, the startup behind open-source cloud platform Deis | VentureBeat | Cloud | by Jordan Novet
Summary
Engine Yard, a startup that offers a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) cloud developers can use to build and run apps, has acquired OpDemand, a startup that created open-source PaaS tool Deis, the companies announced today. “By joining forces with Engine Yard, Deis will continue to flourish as an open source project and community. As Engine Yard helps the project to evolve, Deis will remain the best way to deploy and manage distributed applications in production,” OpDemand chief technology officer and Deis creator Gabriel Monroy wrote in a blog post on the news. Docker, once known as dotCloud, ended up leaving the PaaS business and pivoting toward the container technology that it helped make into a hit. For those developers who want to use the open-source Deis code for running their own PaaS in their data centers — rather than paying for premium service — Engine Yard will provide commercial support.
