Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's how we were hosting chooseyourboss.com (and still are).
With Heroku, there is no need for ops and infrastructure experts, perfect for early stage. That's why we actually went with Heroku instead of a IAAS such as AWS. Simplicity and quickness of setup was essential in our decision.

Pros

  • It allows you to deploy in production really fast and really easily.

Cons

  • Pricing. I think it's still really expensive, 5 or 6 years after it went out of beta. I see a lot of colleagues who actually move to AWS because it's less expensive.

Likelihood to Recommend


  • It's perfect to start an app and deploy fast
  • If you just need a dumb/rest backend, you might want to go check Parse.com
