Git Push Heroku Master: Now 40% Faster
I wanted to give Heroku a try for a new website my brother and I are building and looking at the costs it's quite steep.$35 for a measly 2 dyno application, and another $50 for a production postgresql database.Our use case is REALLY simple, we aren't building some freak sideshow redis golang nonblocking nodejs mongodb ravendb nqueue sync rabbit hyperthreaded monster. We're just building a Rails 4 site, with a PostgreSQL database backend. That's ENOUGH for our use cases. For what we need it's infinitely cheaper to just rent a Linode/DigitalOcean server, use something like Chef to spin up the services we need and voila. We probably won't have to touch the servers for a very long time. Again: We're doing simple things - CRUD basically.I love Heroku for it's simple usage but it's just too darn expensive for us.
