Hello all, I am the author of the blog post. Just wanted to clarify a few things. This is a older post when Deis Workflow was being actively maintained. It is no longer actively maintained: https://deis.com/blog/2017/deis-workflow-final-release/

Also, the intention of the post to show that there is value to create a PaaS for allowing developers to rapidly try out ideas without waiting on infrastructure to be provisioned. If these ideas were proven, they could then deploy the applications to a maintained production grade environment.
