Dokku is definitely an awesome project (pretty much anything from Jeff Lindsay is pretty good)! The primary problem is that dokku is meant for just 1 service and we have quite a few.

We'd love to see one standard too. Personally, I think it's good to have a lot of competing solutions right now (ECS vs Kubernetes, Docker vs Rocket, etc) and we'll see things settle in the next couple of years as containerization becomes more common.

Not exactly sure what you mean by its meant for just 1 service? Do you mean just one box? I run multiple services/apps on my dokku instance

He means multiple instances - for scaling horizontally when traffic increases.

That's still all on one machine; Dokku can't automatically schedule & distribute containers/processes across a cluster of hosts like Empire & others can. If you're doing anything non trivial you're going to outgrow one machine pretty soon :)

If your app is 12-factor, why can't you just spin up more instances of your app on Dokku?
