Beta's coming soon and we're still on target to ship a production-grade stable version of the major features in a few months.

This is excellent news. Two weeks ago I looked into flynn and the various repos had very little activity compared to deis so I went with that for now.

Edit: I posted this just FYI. I thought it'd be useful to know. Perhaps this is a consequence of splitting the project across a large number of repos, where some of them don't get many commits.

DEIS is already a better solution than Flynn... just saying.

oh please yes

Flynn itself costs $3,000/year at the most basic service level, before you even start covering infrastructure. Why shouldn't I just write what I need in a few hundred dollars worth of hours?

Flynn co-founder here. Flynn is free open source software and always will be.

Our managed service is for users who want to outsource the management of the cluster to us. There's no secret extra technology (it's just Flynn underneath), what you pay for is a professional ops team to manage your cluster. The service is also freemium (and free for the vast majority of users).

Ah thanks, that was unclear.

Is there documentation somewhere on how I can go about deploying Flynn on my own hardware?

The best option right now is to check out https://github.com/flynn/flynn-demo however we'll have some much better tools in a couple of weeks.
