AWS is complex just enough for production infra requirements. They don't make some stuff up just for fun :) Heroku is more for prototyping or personal blogs, imho.
- crcastle 7y agoDisclaimer: I'm employed by Salesforce, and I work on Heroku. I agree Heroku has the perception of being only for prototyping projects or small projects. It does work great for those. But also, there are lots of large companies (with non-trivial and large scale deployments) using Heroku, such as Macy's and Toyota and many others I can't mention without their permission. https://www.heroku.com/customers/case-studies https://www.heroku.com/customers/case-studies
- auslander 7y agoThose companies did not yet run price/performance analysis probably.
- crcastle 7y agoPossibly, but heroku does not try to optimize for price/performance. It tries to optimize for price/shipping production software, which includes performance but also lots of other things like ability for application developers to iterate quickly and the human hours saved configuring and operating infrastructure.
