This could be quite a game changer. Other than the generous free allowance, the other big difference compared to Heroku is that it allows you to select the infrastructure you launch on, including three different global regions for AWS (Singapore, Ireland, Virginia).
By providing an alternative for Heroku's high prices and the "region-lock" (latency is always a big issue for potential customers), AppFog seems set to be a strong competitor. More competitors in these spaces are always welcome! =]
- paukiatwee 14y agoIt would be game changer, since it provide other regions like Singapore, which is very welcome for huge potential Asia customers.
- lucperkins 14y agoYes. There are also plans to expand to Amazon-Tokyo and Rackspace-Hong Kong
- rabbitfang 14y agoI recently read that Heroku was considering going multi-region.
