Did you read the article? They replaced their CEO and are strategizing about their 'second act' after being displaced as the 'darling of the developer community'. The article quotes the current CEO as saying he is considering cutting off all existing small devs and focusing on the enterprise market.
If that's business as usual, I'm really curious what a crisis looks like.
As for why RapGenius should be mentioned - they were the catalyst for all of the above. Without them, this article never gets written in the first place.
- mark_l_watson 13y agoI wouldn't blame them for cutting off the free tier that allows one dyno to run for no cost. They should charge at least $10/month for what is now the free tier, and not time out apps (requiring loading requests). Make the small customers real paying customers. The thing is: I don't understand why a large company would use Heroku because of the costs. Heroku seems like the sweet spot for a 3 or 4 person company where they don't have the economy of scale to manage their own servers.
