People are talking about the cost of Heroku, but it doesn&#x27;t seem that outrageous to me.<p>I mean, $180&#x2F;month for a running app, that is making money, isn&#x27;t that much. Once the traffic grows, and you&#x27;re spending $500 or $1000 per month, yes, it becomes worth it to look into alternatives (because $1000 on Heroku can probably be replaced by $150-200 on more powerful hardware). But moving from Heroku to a less managed option just to save $80&#x2F;month doesn&#x27;t seem particularly worth it.
