Hey there, as mentioned elsewhere I'm an engineer on Relay. Our PM is busy right now so thought I'd jump in.

> Have you any comparisons between this and StackStorm?

Relay is very similar to StackStorm! One of the biggest differences between Relay and StackStorm, however, is that every step and trigger in Relay is just a docker container. You can basically run any container you want, but containers that are authored specifically for Relay are, obviously, better (integration with the execution environment, our secrets management service, etc.).

> is this only going to be a SaaS offering

This is another key difference between Relay and StackStorm: We only offer a SaaS right now. That's not to say that we won't eventually offer a self-hosted version (or some sort of hybrid solution for that matter)--it's just the approach we're going with for now.



> every step and trigger in Relay is just a docker container

Ooh, that makes sense. This is also reminding me a bit of Concourse CI (https://concourse-ci.org) as that's all docker-based too, though last I checked it wasn't as kubernetes-native (which I appreciate)


There's a lineage -- Concourse was an inspiration for Tekton, and Relay uses Tekton as part of its substructure[0].
