Flocker vs Lando: What are the differences?

Developers describe Flocker as "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. On the other hand, Lando is detailed as "*An open source, local development environment and DevOps tool *". It's a free, open source, cross-platform, local development environment and DevOps tool built on Docker container technology and developed by Tandem. Designed to work with most major languages, frameworks and services, it provides an easy way for developers of all skill levels to specify simple or complex requirements for their projects, and then quickly get to work on them.

Flocker and Lando can be primarily classified as "Container" tools.

Flocker and Lando are both open source tools. It seems that Flocker with 3.19K GitHub stars and 288 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Lando with 1.47K GitHub stars and 291 GitHub forks.
