It probably just seems like they came out of nowhere because there's been some confusing change in how their technology is referred to because they have a couple different projects — so maybe confusing between Hyper, Hypernetes (a Kubernetes distro), and now more accurately Hyper.sh. We wrote a couple articles in late 2015 profiling them, and that coverage upticks again this month. http://thenewstack.io/tag/hyper-sh/

James, from Hyper here. We have kept a low profile up until now with marketing, because we were so focused on building the tech. But moving forward you will hear more about the team involved- the who, the why, and the how? Hope you try us out!

Looks an awful lot like Heroku.

Heroku docker support is still in beta: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/container-registry-and...

Outside of that you're limited to specific stacks.

Actually, you're not limited to specific stacks on Heroku. There are a number of options.

You can use our officially supported languages: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpacks#officially-...

You can create a Docker image and deploy it via our container registry: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/container-registry-and...

You can create your own buildpack: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpacks#creating-a-...

Or use a buildpack created by the community: https://elements.heroku.com/buildpacks

Hey jbryum, thanks for clarifying.

There's some poor English and they list a Chinese office too. Probably not Heroku.

Native-English speaking Hyper team member here. We were founded in Beijing but have since spread to NYC.

Could you point me to the poor-English in question?

e.g. https://hyper.sh/howto/

> This guide shows how you can launch a full functional Jenkins server in one minute And then configure this Jenkins works with you Github account.

Thanks for catching that. Will address.
