I can't say much here, but I can assure you that you'll be able to afford it. The lowest offering will probably be in the two-digit range, though the higher ones will certainly go to four digits. > 2.

We're still refining our thinking on best practices here. There are many layers of redundancy counting both Amazon's infrastructure and ours; but as with any service, keeping your own backups of important data is an extremely good idea. One way you can do that right now is set up a local cron job from your workstation to capture and download a bundle every night. For example: 30 01 * * * cd ~/myapp; heroku bundles:capture; sleep 60; heroku bundles:download We have another feature related to database backups in beta right now, contact us if you'd like to participate, otherwise watch the blog for the announcement. > 3.

The diagram is speculative on that particular point - we have memcache in beta but haven't documented / released it publicly yet. Once again, contact us for the beta, or wait for the announcement. > 4. General Release: I know you don't want to release a date yet, but > is this weeks or months away? Will a range suit you? :) It's more than a week, but probably less than four months.
