nirmata #123

As a yipee.io PM, I would like to know if Nirmata is a competitor to Yipee.io.

karissajacobsen commented 6 years ago

it does look like a competitor to yipee.io, however it is more like rancher and docker data center UCP (Universal control pane) and has orchestration integration. It is a competitor for Rancher for sure. It does not have a cool modeling canvas, a nice UI like Yipee and easy to use tool. @chuda04 @engji01 @emema03 comments?

This seems like a potential competitor to me - at least in the application modeling. Feature overlap:

One can create nirmata applications Then add "services" to those applications to make a full application Can add volumes to the application map volumes to a service container Has networking concepts that rely on basic docker networking, but seems to have enhanced service name resolution (..local)

Features above current yipee features

Has tie-in's to deploy to various cloud providers Manages nodes/instances in cloud providers Has "service affinity" baked in so that containers can be grouped together. Appears to have their own scheduler so that they can apply policy based resource placement. Also has "Environments" concept. Seems like runtime information with can be used when applications are deployed. Also, services in a given application can be deployed across multiple environments.

Features they do not have that yipee has (or will have in the near term):

Docker Hub image search Drag and drop modeling (all dependencies/affinities/etc are in context of a service configuration) Nested applications (for us, nested Yipees) Multi-orchestration environment configuration generation Import/export compose (they can import/export nirmata application configuration, but not other formats) Service virtualization/externalization

Pricing has two pre-defined tiers plus a catch-all "contact us" price tier)

Standard: 10 users, 3 environments, 7 days data retention, 1 Cloud provider = $2/GB Month (GB Month is a measure of host memory usage) - not sure if that is in addition to Cloud provider charges or includes them. Profession: 20 users, 8 environments, 30 days data retention, 2 Cloud Providers = $4/GB Month
