Don't care about their style, its a very nice service, I wish somebody do it for Django+Python (or maybe a improvement to Google Appengine)

- axod 18y agoOR you could just go the old way and buy hosting and use something that scales well.
- moe 18y agoCare to elaborate on "use something that scales well"? It seems that's exactly what heroku is offering, no?
- axod 18y agoFor example, say you create a simple php website which has a single database. That could be a problem when it comes to scaling. Choosing something other than a database, and something other than php may make far more sense than something that 'helps php database apps scale'.
- moe 18y agoSo, you're suggesting that joe sixpack should rather build his own heroku?
- axod 18y agoNo, just that there are other ways to solve scaling that can be as simple as changing framework/language/db/architecture etc As I said though, more likely I'm just getting old...
- moe 18y agothat can be as simple as changing framework/language/db/architecture Well, sometimes it's as simple as that. But usually it is not. Sorry, but you're not making so much sense here... Could it be you're just getting old? ;)
- nostrademons 18y agoBad example, as "simple PHP websites with a single database" often are pretty easy to adapt to simple PHP websites with multiple databases, and those scale quite well. Better than "PHP websites without databases", and probably better than Django too. Scaling's really in the architecture, not the technology used. You're pretty well off as long as you don't do dumb things like store data in files on the webserver or use a singleton/global database connection.
