I am always amazed at how quickly Heroku gets prohibitively expensive when you start scaling.
When I ran https://jscompress.com/ https://jscompress.com/ on Heroku, I was up to $100 per month for 2 2x Dynos. Completely absurd for a simple one-page Node.js app. I put in a little work moving it to DigitalOcean, and had it running great (and faster) on a $10 VPS.
I get the appeal of Heroku (I have used it several times), but man sometimes it feels like gouging when you can least afford it.
