Thanks a lot! We've come a long way since then - forks, followers, dataclips, extensions, new plans, new versions... Man, actually it kind of terrifies me to think of it all.
- ayanb 14y agoHey, do you have customer instances where the app is on non-aws bare metal ( like Softlayer) and the db is on heroku postgres? What are the pros and cons of this scenario?
- pvh 14y agoAbsolutely. Basically, as long as your app is running somewhere with Very Good Latency to your database, this can be a fine pattern. In practice, this means if the data center is also in Ashburn, Virginia, and better yet, has a DirectConnect deal set up with AWS, you should be in business. The best way to test this is to provision a database and see how latency from your app is. My opinion is that 5ms latency would be a ceiling on what I'd tolerate for my own apps, and I'd probably look for more like 1-2ms or better.
