The benefit of running on Heroku is time savings. Not scaling. If I hit a scaling problem, that's a good sign that I am growing. Right now, I have no scaling issues because we aren't big enough so the savings of hiring a dev ops or learning chef while I make my product better is where the plus is.
Yes you become reliant upon the cloud, but it is only temporary. Buying faster hardware isn't hard
- zeeg 14y agoThis is entirely that false belief I was trying to point out here. I'm not an operations guy, I'm an engineer. I spent a few hours a day for a few days and came up with replayable, fully-configured systems. If this were a full-time gig, I'd have had that done in the first 24 hours. It's not hard to configure services in this day and age. The internet is a wonderful resource for every problem you can ever imagine, and with things like Chef and Puppet becoming so mainstream, you can piggyback off of the work of many other, much more versed players in the game.
