"I assumed there would be an additional step needed to opt-in before being billed"
Why would you assume this? I explicitly remember using the beta databases for free with the understanding that with the continued usage of those products outside of the beta period, I'd be charged.
Never assume. Always ask if you aren't sure.
- reedlaw 14y agoHeroku's blog post (which I read) said: > notice will be provided to all beta users prior to GA release The only notice I received was in the email newsletter (which I didn't read). It seems reasonable to expect a specific notice based on the language in the blog post.
- campnic 14y agoI understand your point about not assuming, but I generally get negative feelings about companies that don't communicate clearly when they make decisions for me that cost me money. I think that is the authors primary gripe.
- reedlaw 14y agoYou're right. Compare the experience with AWS. They were clearly looking out for their customers best interest whereas with Heroku, it's not so clear.
