Hi Xavier, Here at the office we use external monitoring apps to see when services are down, and our operations team all get an SMS when such an occurence er... occurs.
Heroku, as feature-packed as it is - I don't think will survive unless their prices are competitive. As good as what they offer is, it's still something that can be done by someone using more traditional means (like svn/git hooks and so forth), not to mention that you can use capistrano to do some funky deployments. All they're really offering, is a more easily manageable one-stop-shop. That said, it's a valid concern nonetheless, and I too am looking forward to their pricing scheme.
