Heroku: Announcing Huge Growth and New CEO

The deployment looks pretty awesome but the plans are outrageously expensive... is their something I'm missing which causes them to be so expensive!

It is expensive, but i've found the dynos to be quite a bit more powerful than you'd expect. for instance, i'm getting the same req/sec from 1 dyno as i get from 3 passengers on REE 187. The CPU speed/rendering time is not as fast (getting 300ms on Heroku vs 80ms on Linode) - which is likely due to ec2 hardware.

Thanks--I've been curious about that.

Are there more performance comparisons posted? I saw this:

FWIW in that test a Slicehost setup performed better, but only by a small margin over Heroku's free plan.
