- kowsik 15y agoThe Heroku pricing is pro-rated to the second: https://addons.heroku.com/blitz https://addons.heroku.com/blitz
- donw 15y agoTheir price points are fine for enterprise customers, but I can't see smaller shops using this. There's definitely a hole in the market for a good load-testing service, but I see more a $50/month price point than $300/month.
- kowsik 15y agoLoad testing is not a month-long event. Nobody does it 24/7 for 4 weeks straight. It's usually bursty for an hour or so of a day (aligned with a git push or continuous deployment), which bodes well for $1/hour http://blitz.io http://blitz.io Heroku pricing.
- vetler 15y agoWell, there's stability testing, where you want to submit your system to high(er) loads over an extended period of time. Personally I've only done it over 2 - 3 days, though, not 4 weeks, but for a critical system it might not be a bad idea.
- kowsik 15y agoIt's going to cost you no more than $79/day * 2 for two days of load testing if you sign up directly to http://blitz.io http://blitz.io. That's peanuts compared to anything else on the market. And with EC2 lowering inbound bandwidth costs, this only gets better!
- kowsik 15y agoOne more thing. An m1.small instance on EC2 (on-demand pricing) will cost you around $60/month + bandwidth costs. So you need a multi-tenant load testing solution to amortize the costs and drive hourly price down, which is what we are doing.
