Atmospheric Effects 😶‍🌫️

😆 just trying to bring in (Google) Cloud computing and maybe some of @djperrefort's and @wmwv's other interests

I was going to suggest something like "Cloud Alert" but that's a bit too broad (and already taken by a similar, non-astronomy tech)

Lightning

Maybe that's what happens when alerts come through the Cloud? Ok, looked at another way that's just a bold and unsubstantiated claim 👎.

I heard about Digital Ocean “droplets” (VMs) and immediately wanted that for a name. Good metaphor for condensing information and also the independent/standalone way in which our pipeline components run.
