   I was looking at render as an alternative to heroku the other day and I think that the only thing that made me think that I would definitely stick with heroku for now was the point-in-time restores for heroku postgres, which render seems to

    For a relatively small scale project (5K users) I am running metabase using my production postgres* on a free heroku dyno (Metabase even have a 1-click deploy for this). Takes about 30 seconds to wake up, but the price is unbeatable. I don&

    It seems that it must be a really difficult problem to work out the optimal solution for having spare capacity to allow time/location shifting of workloads to minimize carbon per unit of compute. This Dell paper[0] suggests that 16% of
