Hyper vs Hyper Terminal: What are the differences?
Developers describe Hyper as "On-Demand Container, Per-Second Billing". Hyper.sh is a secure container hosting service. What makes it different from AWS (Amazon Web Services) is that you don't start servers, but start docker images directly from Docker Hub or other registries. On the other hand, Hyper Terminal is detailed as "A terminal built on web technologies". The goal of the project is to create a beautiful and extensible experience for command-line interface users, built on open web standards. Focus will be primarily around speed and stability.
Hyper and Hyper Terminal are primarily classified as "Containers as a Service" and "Terminal Emulators" tools respectively.
Some of the features offered by Hyper are:
- Hyper is able to launch instances in sub-second. Also, Hyper requires the minimal resource footprint: ~12MB mem
- Hyper is immune from the "shared kernel" problem in container
- Hyper is hypervisor agnostic
On the other hand, Hyper Terminal provides the following key features:
- Extensions
- Keymaps
- Configuration
Hyper Terminal is an open source tool with 30.3K GitHub stars and 2.48K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Hyper Terminal's open source repository on GitHub.
