Announcing Heroku Free SSL Beta and Flexible Dyno Hours

I have many free apps as well as paid apps running. But I always used Heroku because I didn't have to worry about limitations unless a particular app has high volume. Now that it's become a monstrous burden, I'll definitely be moving most of my apps to a vps/DigitalOcean.

You just lost a huge number of free apps that could potentially become paid apps.

TLDR: Hassle of keeping track of account wide dyno use > hassle of running on vps

I am honestly curious how many of the "huge number of free apps" would actually become big paying apps. I suspect its quite a low number.

You'd be surprised. And at their rates for paid apps, even a single mid-low traffic paid app can run $xxx per month (incl. db).
