Mesosphere vs Tectonic: What are the differences?

Developers describe Mesosphere as "Combine your datacenter servers and cloud instances into one shared pool". Mesosphere offers a layer of software that organizes your machines, VMs, and cloud instances and lets applications draw from a single pool of intelligently- and dynamically-allocated resources, increasing efficiency and reducing operational complexity. On the other hand, Tectonic is detailed as "The smartest way to run your container infrastructure". A CoreOS + Kubernetes platform to run Linux containers.

Mesosphere can be classified as a tool in the "Cluster Management" category, while Tectonic is grouped under "Containers as a Service".

Some of the features offered by Mesosphere are:

• Built on top of open source technology
• Grow to tens of thousands of nodes effortlessly while dynamically allocating resources with ease.
• Mesosphere keeps your apps running by rebalancing resources and restarting failed tasks automatically.

On the other hand, Tectonic provides the following key features:

• Deploy code on a container-native stack
• Flexible architectures for each app
• Automatic load balancing for services
