That was exactly the sort of thing I was hoping to hear - not that there were problems with Heroku, but which systems held up for folks. Given your earlier message, I presume you used Linode and it held up ok?

Yeah, Linode works fine. The primary issue with Heroku is that the free tier only serves one request at a time, so if you get a rush of traffic, you end up with a big backed up request queue. On Linode, that's not an issue, unless you have a behemoth app that takes up so much RAM that you can't use more than one worker at a time.
