I'm a devops engineer and I never really saw the draw of Heroku or EY after you scale out to a certain size. EC2 is extremely easy to work with and there's tons of documentation out there. Once you setup your CI & CD, write your cookbooks and capistrano (or whatever), it's nearly hands off.
- robalfonso 12y agoI'm in your boat, but you have to realize that heroku is not targeted for anyone who is comfortable doing top to bottom provisioning of their environment. I also think their value proposition is a "grow with us" type situation: get you in the door for cheap and then as you grow you just keep bumping resources up.
