Heroku development API is down

Not just the development API. Production has been in Maintenance Mode (meaning you cannot push code or enable&#x2F;disable any dynos) for the past 4 hours.<p>Quite frustrating, however I guess I brought it on myself by not having a fallback option.

I can&#x27;t wait to move off of Heroku. They&#x27;ve had far too many issues in the past few months and we haven&#x27;t been happy with the performance. If only I had the time to setup our environment elsewhere.

Is it ok to up-vote because I want to increase the visibility of the outage? :&#x2F; I remember when 4hr+ API downtime on heroku would make it to the front page in no time. I&#x27;m sure their team is having a heck of a morning, and wish them the best. Hopefully some lessons are learned that make this issue avoidable in the future. If they say it&#x27;s high load on an API database, you&#x27;d think they&#x27;d be well-equipped to scale that up or at least have a backup waiting... but hard to speculate from the outside.
