SendGrid
Is the free SendGrid addon branded in any way?

Re: SendGrid
No, I'm using it and the emails aren't branded as far as I can tell. Only place that the sendgrid name shows up is in the header info, such as servers that handled it.

Re: Foreign Keys
That's correct. I use this functionality to automate the process of backing up my database to S3. Eventually, I'd like to roll in Jesse's work on the gist into the backup plugin so that I am only throwing the db dump onto S3, rather than the code/dump bundle. - Matt Buck On Tue, Mar 23, 2010 at 4:43 PM, Mike mikel...@gmail.com wrote: What exactly can you do with the bundle after you've backed it up?

Re: Foreign Keys
Just in case people read this later on and have forgotten, right now S3 has a 5 GB file size limit, so if your database backup tar is larger than that you might run into problems.

App Monitoring
I know that this topic has been discussed before. As far as I can tell the official response has been that apps are monitored internally and that Heroku will know before anyone if apps are having issues responding. But not having a URL monitoring service offered as an add- on seems like an oversight or at the least an easy way to appease some users and cross an item off the list of reasons to choose engineyard.com. Are there any plans to offer URL monitoring from external servers in the future or to have this offered through a partner under add-ons?
