Flocker vs Powerstrip: What are the differences?

What is Flocker? Run your databases in Docker and make them as portable as the rest of your app. Flocker is a data volume manager and multi-host Docker cluster management tool. With it you can control your data using the same tools you use for your stateless applications. This means that you can run your databases, queues and key-value stores in Docker and move them around as easily as the rest of your app.

What is Powerstrip? A tool for prototyping Docker extensions. Powerstrip is implemented as a configurable, pluggable HTTP proxy for the Docker API which lets you plug multiple Docker extension prototypes into the same Docker daemon. For example, you can have a storage adapter (e.g. Flocker) running alongside a networking adapter (e.g. Weave), all playing nice with your choice of orchestration framework.

Flocker and Powerstrip can be categorized as "Container" tools.

Flocker and Powerstrip are both open source tools. Flocker with 3.19K GitHub stars and 287 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Powerstrip with 309 GitHub stars and 31 GitHub forks.
