I'd be interested to know if this is integrated and rebranded nanobox [0]? Or something completely from scratch?

We certainly took a lot of inspiration and leaned on the awesome experience of the nanobox team, but this is largely a completely different architecture.

Can you tell us anything about the architecture?

We will be revealing a lot more about the architecture at our upcoming virtual conference called Deploy that is happening Nov 10-11th. There are a few sessions that touch on how the platform was implemented and I encourage you to tune in for those! (schedule to be announced soon). https://www.digitalocean.com/deploy/

Wasn't the Appsail nanobox? IIRC, it was planed to be DO's PaaS, so it's cancelled and then DO's PaaS is based on k8s instead?

Appsail was nanobox from what I saw, they redid it between appsail and "apps".

If Appsail was cancelled, what's the point of nanobox acquiring .. I wonder?

Maybe an acquihire? I don't recall seeing any of the nanobox people even mentioned or reply in any of the slack messages. So I am not really sure.
