I struggled to follow parts of this article. She discussed taking to the CTO about bad insurance, and then followed that section with “I got hired.” The whole thing meanders and barely has a point or provides evidence, and I’m not truly convinced it’s a singing ship. That said, I do defer to ex-employees on this matter.
I’m mostly looking for alternatives because people keep saying I should (and I could possibly get double the ram for the same price). But I just git push heroku mastered 5 minutes ago and it took about 1 minute to build, and it was wonderful.
I was a contractor before I was an employee because Salesforce was starving the beast until they made CRM features. Never work with MBO Partners. They do not give two shits about you, just your money that they take a huge percentage of.
Not too long ago I was like “we’ve been paying heroku $59/mo for years (open source, non-commercial, funded by patreon) and while I don’t have any issues I can’t tell if it’s kind of in maintenance mode or what.” So I checked the blog and saw posts like “Faster Dynos for All” and their email newsletter which regularly mentions improvements to service. From those I felt reassured that they’re still improving it. But then came a wave of “heroku alternatives” and posts lamenting how heroku is blowing it. I’m grateful to hear reports from the other side (though again, my personal experience with heroku is still totally fine - and we don’t do the github integration)!
