So what is the consensus at this point? Stay away from Heroku if you are running a Rails app?

  More like, stay away if you are running an app that has limited concurrency per worker dyno (either because your framework is single-threaded, or because your workers are CPU-bound) and you need predictable low latency. Bear in mind that it's not like Heroku does anything particularly terrible in that use case. As far as I can see, it works about as well as any standard round-robin load balancer would. It's just that if those are your requirements, you have a problem that Heroku can't magically solve for you.

    So you're telling me that random routing is as good as round-robin? What is it you are smoking again?

  Nah. Heroku is really nice for rapid development. Some ppl think Heroku suck's for production but imho more outages back in the day... and I assumed it was 'common knowledge' scaling up to 99 dynos as a big no no... that's a lot of VC cheddar...

  don't sell anything to rapgenius if you won't be able to make them whole in 7 days or less.

    More like "don't say Rap Genius told you about a problem Yesterday when they actually told you about it last week and you refused to respond until they took the issue public"
