Thanks for responding to my soap boxy opinions! I actually wrote my own complete PaaS from scratch once[1], and contributed to a number of other PaaS projects.

Thank you so much for your part in that. 1. https://github.com/tombh/peas

Maybe we're getting hung up on the strict definition of PaaS here. Let's just say the thing that lets us easily scale a startup idea, like Uber, Airbnb etc. Sure the dyno/docker is the core component, but we inevitably have to deal with state, Redis, Postgres etc as well. In that sense Kubernetes is very much the Open Source version of Heroku. I think it's fairer to say that Google _repurposed_ Borg, in order not to be left out of the changing landscape. Borg may be the technical predecessor to Kubernetes, but my point is that Borg is very much not
