- metamet 9y agoHow much you're spending. :)
- jypepin 9y agoMy point is more as an engineer, for the next app. I deploy things to heroku, simple enough, but when I feel constrained and want to learn a bit more to manage a little more things, where do I look? To answer your question tho, a lot of things. Heroku makes it difficult to customize your stack, server, etc. Once your company and systems grow, you want more control.
- eastbayjake 9y agoSpend! I've encountered use cases where Heroku billing can be 5x what similar usage on AWS would cost. The difference between a $1000/mo AWS bill and a $5000/mo Heroku bill is justifiable when you're a small company that can't afford a dedicated DBA/Ops role, but it can break your margins when it grows to $25000/mo on Heroku vs. $5000/mo on AWS.
