I was never notified when I went passed 5MB, and nothing happens to your app, your not even switched automatically to the other plan.
I had to switch it myself. Its sort of a on your honor system. The reason I was given is that it requires a restart of your app and Heroku was not willing to force that on an app at an unforeseen time. The idea is that you try your app and get started through your beta for free, and when you have real customers, you move to the other plan. It works well if you are charging for your app. Otherwise, not so good. jeff On Fri, Mar 2, 2012 at 3:24 AM, Neil Middleton <[email protected]>wrote: > I can't really comment on the pricing (although, for what it's worth I > think it's reasonable), but I can say that the 5Mb is a soft limit, as most > of Heroku's limits are. > > However, I don't know what happens when you start pushing 'soft', I would > assume you'll get an email or something. > > Neil > > On Friday, 24 February 2012 at 07:26, dara kok wrote: > > Hi, > > with free 5Mb shared database, i wonder what little thing developer > can do with it?
