I was part of Orchard and miss it dearly. It had a lot of potential but it was launched as a proof of concept built on pooled resources freed up from optimizing legacy workloads (namely, moving Siri from VMware to Mesos).

It never got the love it deserved and I could absolutely believe that its Splunk cluster suffered as a result. RIP

100% agree, the idea of an internal Heroku was a great one, it just didn't seem to work with how Apple was designed organizationally or something and seemed under resourced.
