Hey since this is blown up I just want to address it directly. I take responsibility for what happened here. My RubyGems.org account was using an insecure, reused password that has leaked to the internet in other breaches. I made that accou

The base cost for a rack is about $85/mo. Convox is extremely cost effective for small businesses and up, but would be expensive for running a single, low-traffic hobby app.

That's exactly the etymology. We were thinking about datacenters and servers. The original name was convox/kernel, but we thought it wasn't very descriptive. The naming collision with the Ruby interface is unfortunate, but w

The cedar image is admittedly pretty large. There's a lot of stuff in there. Building a much more lightweight image for your node app shouldn't be too hard, though. Check out https://github.com/convox-examples&#x2F

Thanks! Yes right now we have a small team working on this full time. We do plan to commercialize it, but intend to always keep it open source. We're super confident it will get to a more mature state. We have some resources to keep wo
