We use Heroku and only moved to it maybe two years ago. We have quite a spiky tragic pattern, both throughout the day and over the year - scale up 10x at Christmas. Heroku lets us do this super easily with no ops staff - we are a very small team. The only problem we have is pricing for higher RAM dynos, we have quite a memory heavy app and need to use at least the 2.5gig dynos which are a massive jump in price. It’s not so much that we would invest in moving platform yet but it is something I look at every few months. However I do feel that Heroku are over due a price drop on their dynos (or just a ram boost at the same price point) and maybe a few more size options. They seem to be a little behind the market now - obviously a big part of their pricing is the ease of use...
