I recall hearing folks at Heroku talk about this before - basically the message was yes, there are many ways to abuse the free service but they rarely have people _actually_ doing it.
Kind of interesting, as it would be pretty trivial to use many single dynos (with shared caching, db) in one account for one application.
- exogen 14y agoI love that they technically let people do this, even though it seems like a "loophole" ripe for abuse. It's a nice attitude. (For those who don't know – Heroku gives you 750 free dyno-hours per app per month, forever. This is in contrast to AWS, which gives you 750 free instance-hours per month per account and only for the first year, AFAIK.)
- ConstantineXVI 14y agoIt's worth noting that Heroku silently spins down free-level apps that aren't in use (restarting them on a request), so they aren't necessarily consuming all 750hrs of machine time on every free app.
