I think it's totally worth it. Right now it still costs us less than a developer to run on Heroku and not that long ago we were 3 of those devs. I think having our front-ends on EC2 along with setting up memcached/mongo/nginx/etc ourselves is a much higher upfront cost. Then there're traffic spikes. Pretty hard to deploy to bare metal or EC2 instantly without building your own Heroku-like system.

Well this just shows how little you know about deployments. Using something like Hudson/Jenkins can make deployments simple borderline trivial and EC2 supports ElasticBeanstalk which makes deployments a breeze.
