It doesn't directly claim that, however calling these "The Five Stages of Hosting" implies that an application will likely progress through these stages as it grows, and that application platforms will be quickly outgrown when any sort of scale is reached. That's a pretty clear implication from the title and I'm calling for counter-evidence, because I don't think it's accurate.
I also host on Heroku applications that I hope will grow, and if that's a bad choice, I'd like to know others opinions.
- nchuhoai 15y agoI think you pointed it out, it's the cost. I love Heroku too, however, I can definitely see how Heroku can be much more expensive in the long run. 37signals just recently showed how their recent RAM addition was just a tiny fraction of what they would have payed at Amazon.
- nl 15y agoI think companies outgrow PAAS platforms because they need more flexibility, not because the platform won't scale .
