 ## Using `bb`
-`bb` publishes a single container, `buoyantio/bb:v0.0.5`. Instances of this
-container receive and return a simple message, described by the protobuf schema
-[in this repository](api.proto). This known interface allows for `bb`
-containers to be arranged in many different ways, just like building a structure
-using LEGO blocks.
