Epio cofounder here - we're not worried by this, and we've known it was coming for ages now.
The hosting market is plenty big enough for more than one player - we're expanding to multiple languages, much like Heroku expanded from Ruby, which provides an ample feeding ground of old-style hosts to slowly steal business from - and there's also still a lot of room for innovation.
Heroku, as much as I like their product - and I do, which is why we started this a year ago - still has its flaws and idiosyncracies, some of which are those low-level-design type of choices where if you go the other route, a different set of people complain. You can't be all things to all people, and I don't think anyone will end up being that.

- thirteenpixels 15y agoWell said and epio is still my favorite implementation so far so don't go anywhere.
- Terretta 15y agoThese comments make me want to try ep.io to see if it would work for some of our projects. Would you be able to send an invite to my username at gee mail? Thanks.
