Not the best comment but I agree with the sentiment. I fear far too often, people complain about price when there are competitors/other cheaper options that could be used with a little more effort. If people cared so much then they should just use the alternative.
No one gets hurt if someone else chooses to waste their money on Heroku so why are people complaining? Of course it applies in cases where there aren't a lot of competitors but there are literally hundreds of different of different options for deploying applications and at least a dozen of them are just as reliable and cheaper than Heroku.
- strken 1y agoThe problem with Heroku's pricing is that it's set high enough that I no longer use it and neither does anyone else I know. I suspect they either pivoted to a different target market than me, which would be inconvenient but I'd be okay with it, or killed off their own growth potential by trying to extract revenue, which I would find sad.
- xp84 1y agoI’m pretty sure their target market is people who have already built something kind of complex on there and don’t have the time/money budget to do a big migration. In that way, they know their customers are stuck but can afford the current prices, so keeping pricing static or gradually increasing makes sense.
- __mharrison__ 1y agoI'm hurt because a service I'm using is based on Heroku. I'm on the "unlimited" plan but they have backtracked on that and now say I'm too big for them...
