Am I the only one that found this article poorly researched and misleading? It mentioned that using "cloud servers" lets you quickly fix bugs, rather than having to "rebuild" your code before you fix the bugs. How does that have anything to do with cloud services? Secondly, I'd like to know how many of the apps that Heroku hosts are actually production apps. I know I host at least 15 apps on Heroku, but all of them don't have any paid addons, they have one dyno, and none of them are actually the production server for the application.
- bergkampf 17y agoSecondly, I'd like to know how many of the apps that Heroku hosts are actually production apps. Agreed. Because of Heroku's unreasonable pricing, I see it as a feasible service only for staging and development. Without deep pockets, I would never want to host a potentially popular app on Heroku since I could never afford to scale it there. And because I don't want to have to go to the trouble of reengineering something after it's been developed to move it elsewhere, I would rather build it elsewhere from the start.
- andrewvc 17y agoWhat about how heroku is designed would require re-engineering if you move it elsewhere? Rails + SQL + Memcached = the most standard stack you can build, aside from the fact that they use Postgres. Most of the addons aren't too hard to setup oneself either.
