Re: [rails-oceania] real limits of free Heroku app?

The pricing page has become somewhat gimmicky with the 750 hours free thing. Just a flaky response to EY 500 hours free promo I think. There's nothing new about this - you get a free dyno every month as others have indicated. Korny - here's a list of useful free addons that all fulfil a simple bu

For me the biggest "limitation" on Heroku was that the "dyno" dies off pretty quickly (~10-20 mins) if there are no requests. Then the app should waste time warming up (read - loading Rails) again and again. Should not be a big deal for "demo" sites and ones with a consistent traffic though. Hero

According to this: http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/billing-changes on the new cedar stack 750/hrs a month should be included free, so may be worth asking them what's happening. On 02/06/2011, at 12:38 PM, Korny Sietsma wrote: > Hmm - it seems I might have a single worker - my 'accounts' pa

Hmm - it seems I might have a single worker - my 'accounts' page shows I've incurred 5c in costs so far. Maybe this is a limitation of running clojure (which needs a JVM process) - not sure, the clojure support doesn't seem to be documented anywhere :) I'll leave it going for now - I can afford a

Yeah, one dyno, no workers. The pricing page shows you get 5MB in a shared database for free and I think you're also limited to your app slug being 5MB. I'm sure this was all clearer in previous versions of the web page. Check each individual add-on to see what you what/if it offers for free. Che

Hey Korny; I have several apps deployed onto Heroku and have only ever gotten an error once. You get a single dyno for free which will buckle under a certain amount of traffic, it's not like a single mongrel or whatever but it's pretty close as far as I can tell. You'll get an email if it hits it

Hi folks - I've just deployed my first ever app to Heroku, and I'm wondering if anyone could clarify exactly what you get for free? I'm a bit lost in the website - lots of stuff on nifty addons, but if I'm just deploying a demo app, what are the limitations? And do I have to care? If I run out of
