How does it compare to Amazon Web Services? Cindy Harper -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Andromeda Yelton Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2016 9:50 PM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Heroku
I'm a freelance software developer not embedded in a library, but I use Heroku routinely to host apps I'm developing for fun, or as a testing site, and one of my clients deploys its production app on Heroku. It took me a while to wrap my head around, but I love it to little tiny pieces (and once you do wrap your head around it, it becomes *unbelievably* straightforward). Do you have any more specific questions?
