- fomb 10y agoI heard it was also sold at cost (of an ELB). https://twitter.com/johnbeynon/status/727375051331346432 https://twitter.com/johnbeynon/status/727375051331346432
- fdr 10y agoIt's worse than at-cost: it's covering fixed costs only. If you push any bytes (a metered cost) through that ELB, Heroku finances that entirely.
- bgentry 10y agoActually they were just passing on the underlying cost of the AWS ELB to you. The previous setup worked by provisioning a dedicated ELB for each app. ELBs cost $18/mo plus bandwidth charges. Expensive? For low value apps, yes. But far from a "pure and unadulterated money grab."
- evolve2k 10y agoAnyone know how to transition to the new free SSL option from the existing paid SSL service?
