If you have a rails app, use heroku and rds. How long has the app been growing? If you grow too fast FB will delete it without warning.

- ronnier 16y agoWhat's the justification for deleting apps that grow too fast?
- catch23 16y agoIn the past, lots of scammy/spammy apps grew fast by bribing the user to invite all of their friends etc. But you have to grow pretty fast for FB to see this and delete you, I doubt anyone can replicate that growth now since lots of the viral features were removed. Seems like the only way to mass a huge audience is to buy it with FB ads.

- makeee 16y agoLaunched it 2 days ago. It's a facebook connect website, so I think I'm okay.
- flubba 16y ago+1 for heroku. What exactly is RDS? I know its a relational database, but I couldn't figure out exactly what it was from its site.
- 0nly1ife 16y agoIt is MySQL running on Amazon. I like it because you can scale a hot database up or down.
