I run a few big apps on Heroku that average 2-3 million requests a day with a peak around 30M requests a day. We've used 100 dynos + 8 EC2 machines as part of our system, so I'd call it a "real" app.
Thus far we havent had any issues with Heroku's performance OR support. Compared to some other vendors (such as EY) their support has been awesome and platform rock solid. A few of the Heroku guys even reached out on IM to resolve issues asap, so they make themselves accessible IF you are offsetting the support expense with a paid product. The problem is that the majority of their 80K apps are people running toy apps with a free single dyno who expect immediate assistance then go complain on Twitter when they don't get it. We've never waited more than an hour to get a response for an urgent ticket. Furthermore, we've seen < 2 hours of downtime in the past 9 months as a result of Heroku issues. At risk of sounding like a fanboy, Heroku has saved me a huge amount of time and money and will be hosting my apps for the foreseeable future. - Michael Dwan On Sep 16, 7:59 pm, "A.
