As for me, this story excludes Heroku from any future consideration. Why? There are two reasons for paying a significant premium to a a platform provider: a) you don't want to do this job yourself, b) someone knows better how to do it. This story showed me that (b) isn't true. Now, I'm all for learning and growing and improving, but not on my business and not on my applications, and especially not while I'm paying a premium for it, being promised "scalability".
