Building a Local Cloud [PAAS] for Africa
summary
Project builds a local PaaS for Africa that targets beginner developers, claiming an easier Heroku-like flow while using Kubernetes under the hood and Go for implementation. A Kubernetes front end called Poseidon defines resources via client-go, but the team keeps an editor-based deploy to accept zipped code or online edits rather than forcing Docker and git. A small team of six runs servers in a few countries, has some hardware, and plans an open source release in six to eight months; work is ongoing, not yet widely deployed.
