Heroku -> Expensive
Joyent -> Expensive
EngineYard -> Expensive
Is it possible that nobody thinks in the small guy for a managed service?
I'm waiting for nodejitsu, let's see what they have to offer.
- abraham 16y agoIf all of your examples are too expensive then you are expecting too low a cost.
- grep 16y agoJoyent -> $250/mo for 2GB RAM Heroku -> $108/mo for the equivalent EngineYard -> $85/mo for the equivalent Not everyone can spend $100 per month in a server.
- dzlobin 16y agoBut not everyone needs 2G of ram? No reason why a $20 linode can't suffice if you don't need to spend $100/mo yet
- abraham 16y agoIf you can't spend $100/month on a server use App Engine, a free Heroku Dyno, an EC2 micro instance, or any number of other cheap virtualized hosting companies.
- pquerna 16y agothese aren't servers. these are PaaS. if you want a cheap server with no extra services or support, there are cheaper things, like EC2 Micro instances, Linode, Slicehost, Rackspace, and a million other VPS providers. Apples to Oranges.
- thenduks 16y agoSo, if you really need to run your node app right now why not just grab a prgmr or Linode instance...?
