My story - for a hobby project - is that I wanted to use ElasticSearch. Heroku's ElasticSearch pricing was per document.
I wanted to index billions of very small documents. Billions was in the "phone us" pricing category.
Switched to the smallest cheapest VPS I could find and that did the job.
- znpy 6y agoMore than 10k rows in your postgres? Better start paying!
- toyg 6y agoLast time I used Heroku for a real project, I just put the database somewhere cheaper (if i remember correctly, Azure). With proper encryption+authentication and a bit of strategic caching, it was fine.
- petercooper 6y agoI use Heroku for an internal app and found their hobby Postgres sufficiently flaky that I now use RDS in the same region. For $20/mo on RDS, we get more than the $50/mo tier on Heroku Postgres and the latency isn't much different.
