I still dream of the day they'll let us set up different availability zones. Not that I'm sure this wouldn't occur, mind you.

Dynos already run in different availability zones: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/production-check https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/production-check You can take that a step further by running dynos in the European (eu-west-1) region: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/regions https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/regions

  That's still in Beta though.

    I'm running a production webapp since May on the Heroku EU region, not a scratch since then. It's a Beta suited for production apps since February: "Beta Testers, Heroku Europe is ready to begin running your production apps! Create an app in the region: $ heroku create --region eu Then add add-ons, deploy, and scale as usual. Please note we're still adding capacity in this area, so contact us if you expect to run more than 30 dynos or do more than 500 reqs/second on any app in Europe. As always, private betas should be considered confidential. Please don’t tweet, blog, or talk about this feature publicly until we announce it ourselves. Documentation: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/regions https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/regions Questions & feedback: eu-beta@heroku.com Best, The Heroku Team"

        It's no longer a private beta... https://blog.heroku.com/archives/2013/4/24/europe-region https://blog.heroku.com/archives/2013/4/24/europe-region

  > Multiple dynos are also more likely to run on different physical infrastructure (for example, separate AWS Availability Zones), further increasing redundancy. It's not guaranteed. As I understand it, it's random. And as for regions. They only help you locate content to a closer region. You cannot use them for balancing/redundancy. As any data or third party add-on you use, will manage it's data in it's own specific zone. Thus creating latency issues.

If you need deeper control of your application platform infrastructure, you should check out something like http://deis.io/ http://deis.io/. You can run a private Heroku in any EC2 region, zones, etc. Running your own PaaS is not for the faint of heart -- and Heroku certainly saves you time and headache -- but it's nice to have a private PaaS option that is Heroku compatible.
