Heroku is a great platform and has come a really long way -- but it could really use some competition. Some of the main issues that would be resolved quickly with competition are:
- it would be possible to have the non-DB part of your heroku app be spread across multiple availability zones.
- worker pricing would be much lower or based on actual CPU cycles used.
- add-on providers would be vetted more thoroughly before getting a spot in the add-on store.
- they'd reopen the #heroku irc channel for informal support
- ricardobeat 14y agoyou mean like AWS, EngineYard, appfog, dotCloud?
- bdesimone 14y agoIaaS != PaaS
- ricardobeat 14y agoAmazon excluded those are PaaS.
- grandalf 14y agoI haven't looked at DotCloud, but the others are not really competitors.
