I didn't realize Heroku used s3 until today, when my heroku app failed. Makes me wonder why I'm using heroku instead of just aws.

- AtheistOfFail 10y agoHeroku is a rewrap of AWS for simplicity.
- sachinag 10y agoSkyliner is an option if you're doing real production stuff.
- ddollar 10y agoIf you're looking for the simplicity of Heroku but want to run on raw AWS check out Convox. It's open source and free to try. https://convox.com https://convox.com Disclosure: I'm one of the cofounders
- eddieroger 10y agoYou're paying Heroku to not have to think about deployment or scale, which is also why their marketplace is successful - who wants to think about managing a database, when two clicks and a few environment variables later you can have one. Heroku is great for devs who don't want to think about ops and can afford to throw money at the problem (it gets really expensive really fast).
