Heroku Sees 50 Percent Increase in Apps Since November

Considering the quality of service they offer, it's no surprise.

Am I the only one that found this article poorly researched and misleading? It mentioned that using "cloud servers" lets you quickly fix bugs, rather than having to "rebuild" your code before you fix the bugs. How does that have anything to do with cloud services? Secondly, I'd like to know how many of the apps that Heroku hosts are actually production apps. I know I host at least 15 apps on Heroku, but all of them don't have any paid addons, they have one dyno, and none of them are actually the production server for the application.

I love Heroku but I subscribe what you are saying. It's too expensive scaling an app on Heroku. I really hope they decrease the prices.

I want more NoSQL options on Heroku. I want CouchDB. I want Voldemort. I want to be able to stuff them directly from Amazon Elastic MapReduce.

I just migrated one of my applications to Heroku yesterday... So far I've been very happy with it! I only needed to change <i>one</i> line of application code and remove my old config files to get everything working.<p>The interesting part for me is that with aggressive caching I can run my application(s) on their free service with very few hassles. That's great for me as it gives me the chance to spend the money on advertising instead of hosting, where I'll actually see a return.<p>Hopefully sometime down the line I can start paying for the service to thank Heroku for their awesome work!
