Both of these are free for a year despite te confusing hourly breakdown.
- EwanG 15y agoI'll have to look into the heroku then. I've had an amazon AWS account for some time (though I've mainly used it just to try things out myself before recommending to a client), and so don't appear to be able to use the one year option. Thanks for the links!
- cheald 15y agoSpeaking from experience, Heroku's free tier doesn't hold up well against "Show HN"-type traffic.
- EwanG 15y agoThat was exactly the sort of thing I was hoping to hear - not that there were problems with Heroku, but which systems held up for folks. Given your earlier message, I presume you used Linode and it held up ok?
- cheald 15y agoYeah, Linode works fine. The primary issue with Heroku is that the free tier only serves one request at a time, so if you get a rush of traffic, you end up with a big backed up request queue. On Linode, that's not an issue, unless you have a behemoth app that takes up so much RAM that you can't use more than one worker at a time.
