| Matan (ixxie) | Hello folks; I just heard about Colmena today over at #nixops:nixos.org. I'm currently trying to evaluate whether its the right fit for my usecase (deploying a small number of VPS servers with the hopes of eventually scaling up).
What was the motivation of Colmena? I see its stateless, like Morph, which is a big plus for me. But what advantages does it have over Morph and NixOps?

 @linus:schreibt.jetzt | fancy clock animations! | 11:58:57 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | Also parallel deployment, I think morph does things sequentially | 11:59:09 |
 Wanja Hentze | for us, streaming evaluation | 12:07:13 |
| Wanja Hentze | morph (and iirc deplo-rs too) has no such feature so evaluation is entirely single-threaded | 12:07:38 |
| Wanja Hentze | evaluating the entire deployment takes many minutes then | 12:07:48 |
| Matan (ixxie) | Thanks Linux Hackerman and Wanja Hentze | 12:30:09 |
| Matan (ixxie) | It seems flake support is better also, or at least better documented | 12:30:22 |
| Wanja Hentze | I wouldn't know 😎 | 12:57:29 |
