CTL 001–Deis CTO Gabriel Monroy explains Deis to us - a podcast by CenturyLink Labs

This week, we are starting a new interview series as part of the CenturyLink Labs. We are going to try to keep these interviews short (30-40 mins) and packed with great content every week. Last week, we talked about Dies[1] and Flynn. This week, we are talking with the CTO of Deis, Gabriel Monroy.

Here are the topics we cover this week with Gabriel:

* **Do you have any statistics about how large the Deis user base is?**
* Over 100 known installations
* **Is Deis built to be multi-tenant or single tenant?**
* Single-tenant
* **Is Deis built to be mutli-server or single-server?**
* Deis is built to be multi-server, but without any database or backend services managed by Deis
* **What’s next for Deis?**
* Deis 0.9[2] just released with Dockerfiles, Domain names and HA Routing
* **How is Deis different than Flynn or Dokku?**
* Different from Dokku because it is built for multi-server
* **In Deis, apps are git deployed like Heroku, but can you talk about how services are managed in Deis?**
* Deis does not do any database service management, only managed application code
* **What do you think about ambassadors in Docker?**
* Deis uses ambassadors for auto-registering and load balancing application instances transparently
* **How do you scale Deis?**
* By adding more Deis images, registering them into CoreOS via etcd
* **What is Deis’ relationship with OpDemand?**
* OpDemand is the parent company that develops the Deis open-source project
* **And a few more great questions...**
