Just as a data point: we are planning to move to Crunchy and away from Heroku soon. We tested the two, and we have 4X improved performance on Crunchy Postgres vs Heroku Postgres.
4X. We were astounded. And so we’re the Heroku folks I talked to, who I’m guessing will want to try to bring performance boosts.
We haven’t done the switch quite yet because we’re waiting on Crunchy to bring out their Heroku Dataclips replacement, which is something we rely on a lot. But once it’s ready, we’re going to switch!
- higeorge13 4y agoJust curious, what’s special with heroku dataclips? You can host and use any bi tool which has similar functionality (last one i used was redash)
- karmelapple 4y agoWe can! But setting up Heroku Dataclips takes precisely 0 working days/minutes/seconds. So it's sheer laziness :)
- craigkerstiens 4y agoWe're used to seeing performance gains, but also wow. This is great to hear, so thanks for sharing. Dataclips equivalent is coming, we're hoping to release sometime in March.
- karmelapple 4y agoThat's great news! We're happy to try it out, since that's the one thing holding us up from making a bunch more big databases on your platform :)
