Flynn
Flynn is an open-source Platform as a Service (PaaS) that automates the full lifecycle of containerized applications across any infrastructure. It functions as a container orchestration platform, scheduling and managing application containers with isolated filesystem and network stacks, while also providing a health-checked service discovery router that directs traffic only to healthy container instances.
The platform is built around a Git-push deployment model, where pushing code to a configured repository triggers an automated build-test-deploy cycle. It supports declarative scaling, allowing container instance counts to be adjusted based on configuration rather than imperative commands, and includes a multi-tenant resource scheduler that allocates CPU, memory, and storage fairly across applications. Flynn also treats stateful services as first-class platform resources, offering managed instances of PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB with automated backup and failover.
Beyond core orchestration, Flynn enables layer-based service composition, allowing applications to be built by composing multiple containerized services that communicate through defined network layers. The platform handles the full application lifecycle from deployment through scaling and updates, and can run any Linux-compatible workload, including stateful services and databases, not just stateless web applications.
