Do I have this cost breakdown right?

2013-09-02 Thread ebdb
I'm considering deploying a small Rails project to Heroku,

I want to double-check that I'm understanding the pricing correctly.

I'd have 2 dynos (to start). So that's $34.50.

I'll need a MySQL DB, not PostgreSQL -- so that's one add-on. I can 
probably get away with the Punch level for now, so that's $10.
I need Sphinx search. I think I can probably get by with the wooden 
option, so that's another $12.

I'll need some kind of caching solution. I guess the free Memcachier might 
work to start out.

I'll definitely need SSL, so that's $20/month.
 
So that's 76.50 / month for one website. Ok, that might work for this 
starter project.

Are there any other likely costs I should be aware of before I dive in?

One other question -- knowing that Heroku has historically been pretty 
committed to PostgreSQL, is their MySQL offering production ready? And will 
I be able to hook Flying Sphinx up to it without a lot of hassle?

I mean is that a known and traveled path in Heroku? Or would I be doing 
something weird and not well supported?

Thanks,

E

Hi,

I'm on the billing team at Heroku and your analysis of the pricing is
correct.  All of our products are pro-rated to the second, so you could try
the MySQL addon, for example, for a couple of days and do some load testing
to make sure it meets your needs.  We'll only charge you for the time
you've used.  If it turns out that it doesn't meet your needs you can
deprovision it and we'll stop charging you for it.  Also, we don't offer
MySQL directly, it's provided by a third-party addon provider.  I'm not
up-to-speed about the quality of their service, so I can't give you any
advice there.

Thanks,
J.

Do add-ons apply to more than one application in an account?

2013-09-02 Thread ebdb
Ok, still evaluating whether Heroku is going to work for me.

I'm likely to have multiple Rails Web apps.

All the apps will probably need these add-ons...

- Clear DB MySQL database.

- Flying Sphinx.

- SSL

If I buy an add-on, does it apply to every app I'm running, or do I need to 
buy a separate copy for each app?
