FWIW, I've done my share of enterprisey stuff. Big name stuff, not in ruby or rails. I am moving more things over to Rails/Ruby on Heroku as I get time to do it. Try dealing with a web farm to host your app, load balancer, data bottlenecks, etc. Then add mysterious machine crashes due to memory

Same thoughts here. The support request is not as fast as other providers I use. I didn't have critical issue (except for a problem to a primary key of the database, not set correctly during a push, that I solved myself) but I'm a little scared about the fact to stay offline with a slow support

It would be nice if Heroku at least offered paid support or at least made their it clear on their website that this is available - much like Engine Yard. We're seriously considering migrating to EY from Heroku at the moment because primarily of the support that is available from EY when it's

Wow, sounds like the level of support you're getting for your app is in a whole different world than us mortals with sub-1000 dollar hosting expenditures. Reached out on IM to resolve issues? I couldn't even get them to assign a support person to my app that was down. Well, in some sense that is

Honestly I agree with Mike 100%. The right thing for Heroku to do is to have their economics be more transparent. As fellow developers, i do not think we expect 100% service, esp if we are running a single dyno and a toy app. But personally, (i spend 2K on amazon a month), and i need to feel

+1 for iframe/javascript solution I feel like the same system could be used to improve the custom maintenance mode page as well. I tested it out on my staging app the other day, and it took 15 minutes before the ugly default page was replaced by my custom page. Thats just too long! My biggest
