I just launched a site on Heroku yesterday and cranked up the dynos up in anticipation of some "launch" traffic. Now, I can't log in to switch them off. Thanks

- mike-cardwell 15y agoIsn't that a design flaw in Heroku? Shouldn't you be able to log into Heroku and change stuff like that even if the entire of Amazons cloud service is down?
- Maxious 15y ago> Nothing special-case here: we deploy with git push, just like any other Heroku user. Dogfooding is good for you. http://blog.heroku.com/archives/2009/4/1/fork_our_docs/ http://blog.heroku.com/archives/2009/4/1/fork_our_docs/
- mike-cardwell 15y agoThat's all well and good, but it's no use for their customers if/when Amazon goes down.
- SandB0x 15y agoAgree. You can delegate work but not responsibility.
- random42 15y agoActually, I'd expect Heroku to not charge for when the site was down, as they are clearly not available, it does not sound fair if they charge for it. Am I expecting too much from them?
- helium 15y agoMy app on heroku is running, it's just that I can't log in to their management console to de-allocate resources that I am paying for by the hour.
- random42 15y agoIf I were you, I'd send them an email requesting this, on your behalf. At the end of the day, its their responsibility to make the console unavailable. I will be more than unimpressed if they dont see this logic here.
