In 11 years of using it, I've never seen AWS increase the price for a service whose cost inputs they controlled entirely. It can happen, though. They increased AWS Pinpoint costs because their cost to send SMSes in India increased by 2

With a standard dyno, you get something like 1/15th of a core on the underlying EC2 instance. IMO, they're best for workers where latency isn't an issue. For user-facing work, I use performance dynos. Heroku _is_ expensive, b
