I agree, I love EC2 personally, their mini server plan(or whatever its called) is great for keeping a production version of a project running while its still in an initial phase (very low user base) and then you can scale easily without having to learn anything new as you can run basically things the same as you do locally (I run Ubuntu locally and mainly develop for Tomcat so it makes it really easy to keep things the same on there). I looked at Heroku but as soon as I realized it would be rather expensive just to get regular datbase access (so I could run straight SQL if I needed to, etc) it was out.
- LogicX 15y agoFWIW - you can run command-line SQL for all heroku instances: https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-sql-console https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-sql-console
- reedlaw 15y agoThe micro instance seems incredibly slow for me running Rails. It runs out of memory while doing a git index-pack.
- amishforkfight 15y agoThe micro instance seems to be routinely throttled, for random reasons. My vm was choked for days despite only pulling in ~200 visitors per day. Upgrading to the Small instance has removed all throttling. I'm running a standard LAMP stack on it, nothing crazy.
- devs1010 15y agohmmm, yeah I have noticed weird behavior a few times, however I run a Java Spring app on there and most of the time it works, its pretty much me that is using it though, I would think that Ruby does use more memory than Java though.
