Congrats on shipping. Your pricing, very roughly, looks like about 1/2 that of Heroku.
One question: for the two lower cost plans with weekly backup: if there is a hardware failure and you need to restart all apps on a new server, how much time would this take? I am not asking for an estimate if the data center you use goes down, just asking about an estimate for spinning up apps on a new server.
I ask because I like to host small experiments. If apps are down occasionally for a half hour or an hour that is OK, but a few hours isn’t.
- vincelt 8y agoThanks :) The time to spin a new server and set up the apps back on it is no more than a few minutes (depending if you had a DB and how large it is). You can see it in action when you scale an app up, it will spin a new server, import back the DB on it, build your app and switch DNS to the new location. Rarely takes more than 5 minutes. I think tho if something happens at the hardware level and we lose our servers we would seriously consider switching providers.
