Thanks for a capsule tour through Heroku!

FWIW, the team that eventually created "Docker" was working at the same time on dotCloud as a direct Heroku competitor. I remember meeting them at a meet-up in the old Twitter building but couldn't tell you exactly which year that was. Maybe 2010 or 2011?

Yep, that team did great work. I remember having lunch at the Heroku office with the dotCloud team in 2011 or 2012 and also Solomon Hykes demoing Docker to us in our office’s basement before it launched. So much cool stuff was happening back then!

I remember Solomon's demoing at All Hands... it was such a crazy time for tech and innovation.

Oh hey Curt!! Remember, you are not a monitoring system :)

Haha, funny you should mention that as I was just telling a coworker that story as we worked on a new dashboard for our infrastructure. :D
