But doesn't that defeat the whole point of Heroku? If your app is running redundantly elsewhere, that means that you've already done all the work to set up the stuff that Heroku normally provides. And if you've already done that work, why use Heroku at all?
- wilfra 15y agoThis is true. Heroku needs to be redundant. This shouldn't happen on Heroku.
- edouard1234567 15y agoI agree but we'll need to know more about caused this, hopefully they'll be a little more transparent than usual given the severity of this failure. In the meantime I have a new startup idea: Heroku failover cloud hosting.
- imbriaco 15y agoI am probably biased, since I wrote many of them, but I like to think Heroku has a pretty good reputation for writing meaningful public post-mortems when there are large scale outages. It's safe to give them the benefit of the doubt that they'll continue.
