I would say that at this point you're right, we're probably not right yet for companies subject to HIPAA or PCI regulation. The advanced Postgres datatypes are pretty much my favorite thing in the world. We use HStore internally all over the place, as well as some more exciting projects that we haven't said too much about yet. As I mentioned elsewhere in the thread, if you're interested in trying out some of those extensions, contact me directly.

I'm a real fan of PostGIS and like ltree and hstore a lot. Heroku isn't quite right for my needs at this time, but I would definitely consider it if I had a use case that needed an extremely fast public facing postgres installation. I am curious as to whether you do pro-rated pricing?

  As of today, we only charge for the time you use. I don't imagine we'd ever need to change that, but never is a long time.

    That is interesting, there are times when I want to use PG as an ETL tool and take a midsized ( < 2tb data ) set and load it up and slice and dice it and produce some output for other programs and then have it go away. So, I'll keep you guys in mind.

  @Olefoo you can get PostGIS on Heroku via SpacialDB. SpacialDB is cloud hosted PostGIS and a convenient RESTful API. We have a heroku addon too currently in private beta. Check out our devcenter here: http://devcenter.spacialdb.com/ http://devcenter.spacialdb.com/ and let us know if you would like a beta invite.
