I'm really excited about Heroku's current incarnation, especially w/ memcache built in, Varnish and the overall philosophy.
I will be launching a Rails application that I would like to host on Heroku in the next week. The app will also be in beta for about a month, so I'm ok with the Heroku beta status. However, I have some questions I haven't seen good answers for: 1. What will the eventual cost structure be? I know you don't want to release exact pricing, but will it be more inline with EngineYard's Solo or Mor.ph's AppSpace? ~$50-$250 month for most apps. Or more of the Mor.ph App Cloud offering starting in the $1500/month space? I really don't want to deploy here, and then find out I can't afford it. 2. Database backups: I know there are rake tasks to get a local DB dump, but I haven't heard much about what you suggest as best practice for DB backups especially what we should do vs. what you are doing as part of the environment itself. 3. Memcache: I haven't seen anything in the docs for the configuration for this. I see the Varnish info, but not memcache. I assume that Heroku is configuring memcache automatically and we just need to worry about the app-specific cache retrieve/expire calls. 4. General Release: I know you don't want to release a date yet, but is this weeks or months away?
