Gofer's Philosophy

Short version

Gofer focuses on the usage of containers to run workloads that don't belong as long-running applications. At it's core, it is a remote code execution platform. The ability to run containers easily is powerful tool for users who need to run various short-term workloads and don't want to learn a whole new paradigm to do it. Gofer respects the user by inviting them to follow a golden path for how to do things, but also giving them the power to leave it when necessary.

Gofer's core values are:

• Simple as possible, but no simpler.
• Easy to use. Don't get in the way of the user.
• Fast. Computers wait on people not the other way around.
