I'm not fond of this at all. Any small-scale apps (running 2-3 dynos) can see up to a 44% increase in price, and that's going to be very difficult to justify compared to the other PaaS offerings:
$100 a month on Heroku vs the previous $84.50 ($50 for 2 1X Dynos, $50 for Standard Postgres). $44.38 on BlueMix ($25.38 for 2 512MB Instances, $19.00 for 2GB/20 Connections on ElephantSQL Clearly not equivalent, but sufficient production-grade hosting for apps of this scale). Elastic Beanstalk hosting with RDS would be arguable even lower.
In a world where cloud hosting is becoming cheaper [0], I'm not sure how this jump this steep can be justified.
The parts things I'm pumped about:
- Paid hobby tier is brilliant idea for low traffic apps that require the guaranteed uptime
- Paid instances get analytics from the first dyno (I always found it absurd that I'm paying the same amount for two apps, but get analytics in one and not the other...)
- Worker's are now free on free apps, so it's going to be way less of a pain getting test and staging instances deployed
