I run all my clients on heroku, many are critical to the daily running of their businesses, so this is a big deal to me.
I'm at railsconf so I asked one of they guys about this and got this response: They are on call 24/7, so when something goes wrong a person is paged and woken up and gets to work. (Most of my clients can't afford that kind of service from me.) They also have built up a sophisticated monitoring system hosting all these apps and seeing all kinds of ec2 hiccups overtime. So I feel confident that when things go wrong (and they will on every host) somebody is working on the immediate problem and working on making sure it won't happen again.
