Why pay $7/mo PER PROJECT for heroku that runs on aws when you can just pay $5/mo for Linode that has opt-out data sharing and you can install Caprover or Dokku there to have the experience similar to heroku and create as many projects as your hardware allows you, $5 for all?

    @iiii happened at a place I worked. If it ever happens to you, whatever you do just keep moving.

    I can still hear the screams of the folks who stoped to grab their phone before they ran...

    Last time I was benchmarking servers, Linode was very slow.

    Digital ocean also is very nice for $5 and has bandwidth rollover.
