I totally support Heroku's right to charge whatever they want, of course. They're expensive, but they provide good value for the money.<p>Historically, I have a bunch of personal free-tier apps which sleep most of the time, and a couple which are up most of the time. My consulting clients, on the other hand, have paid Heroku thousands of dollars per month at various points. I also maintain a buildpack.<p>But at this point, it's time I get off my backside, set up a docker host on EC2, and containerize the stuff I care about. I can probably pack everything onto a pretty small instance, and I've been meaning to deploy some non-HTTP services. Besides, it's closer to what I'm using in production.<p>Thank you, Heroku, for some very enjoyable years, for top-notch paid service, and for the free hosting!
