No.....

Bastards, it's a sad day when the free tier becomes paid 😔

Salesforce.... er I mean heroku, already charge an arm and a leg and my right nut for Salesforce integrations, surely my little applications can churn some cpu time and not be a problem.

@C0D4 I know right? Now I have to migrate my personal projects elsewhere. 🥲

@johnmelodyme any alternatives? Don't want to rewrite my shitty person project

FUCK OFF NOW, SALESFORCE

You took student bonus away and now this?

Are you bored of people mining shit on free dynos? Fine, make us use free dynos only when we verify ourselves.

You can at least ban the bad users that way.

Motherfuckers.

Oh also, @h3rp1d3v , render.com can be a great thing, it auto CDNs the static sites so we can focus on api side as seperate instances.

Idk, gotta try.

fucking hell tho.

@melezorus34 let's start a petition in change.org .

#fucksalesforce

$7 per dyno a month will add up quickly.

We will continue to provide low-cost solutions for compute and data resources: Heroku Dynos starts at $7/month, Heroku Data for Redis® starts at $15/month, Heroku Postgres starts at $9/month.

"freen't" 🤡

Expect more.of the free services to die.

Energy costs will hurt. A lot.

... Could have been prevented a long time ago, but that would have been intelligent.

@IntrusionCM bro it's not energy costs
The damn company runs on selling you aws

Read my message and the blog.

Oh also the new fucking general manager who wrote the article is prolly the person responsible of this dumb action, i hope he gets fires

@melezorus34 I read it.

My comment said "expect *more* free services to die".

AWS growth model is built on reducing prices by expanding fast.

I think it might this year the first time they'll have to rise the prices instead of lowering them.

I'd expect a rise of up to 50 % ...

For me the whole blog entry boils down to "We cut our losses to survive".

If you read anything else out of it, reread it.

Ending free tier - increase of cash flow, either by termination of contracts or gaining paying customers

Deleting old accounts - increase of cash flow by termination of contracts.

That's definitely a cashflow increase program. To include the risk that negative PR might hail down on them means that either they don't care for PR or that they're desperate.

What happened to renting a vserver for like 4 bucks a month and hosting yourself?

@LotsOfCaffeine when 4 bucks is about 4 meals worth of money and you barely get 90 meals in a month, free services shine.

@melezorus34 I mean, yeah absolutely, but I feel like if you have a software dev job you can probably afford that and the 8 dollars a year for a domain

Or am I just too European for this?

@LotsOfCaffeine hosting is expensive in my country

It's always weird comparing prices.

But imho, most US hosters are expensive.

Like... Really expensive.

On the other hand, depending on country, that's the least of your problems.

I remember the fun times IRCing and being confused as I learned the first time that electricity can be rationed and rationed means that the government just cuts the electricity at specific times.

Wether you like it or not.

(was 13... 14? I think at that time. Not innocent, but pretty inexperienced xD)
