Rapid growth, lessons learned and improvements at Fly.io

I have run the experiment, and Crunchy Data’s Postgres servers are 4X more bang for the buck than Heroku’s.

I let some folks at Heroku know this who are product managers, and they are investigating it… but I would be shocked if Heroku gets a big performance improvement anytime in, say, 2023.

20X seems like a lot for RDS, though I’d be curious to learn more! We are switching to Crunchy because of that clear cost/performance difference you mention.

I would be kind of shocked if heroku gets a big performance improvement ever again. It seems the owners have decided to basically freeze it.
