Mike, We don't have pricing up yet, plans will start out at $5 a month which will be good for a site with nominal traffic somewhere around 5k unique visitors a month. This of course depends on number and size of assets served. After that the price per request will drop at each tier, the more you use the cheaper your per request transaction is. If you go over your limit for the month, your site will still work, it just won't be as fast.
George, DreamObjects is a product somewhat like Amazon's S3. You're storing a single file at a single location. If someone from china downloads the file it will take someone significantly longer than someone who is next to the data center where dreamhost has it stored. If you wanted to speed that up, you would need to make the DreamObject file available from your domain so `smile.png` could be served from `example.com/dreamobjects/smile.png` (and make that controller redirect to the proper dream object path). After you do that, you can put a CDN in front of your app. So when a visitor comes to your webpage, their browser sees a url like `http://jby73hjv7.cdnsumo.com/dreamobjects/smile.png` and the file is served from the closest CDN server to the visitor. If you're doing this though, make sure that if the file changes that it's filename changes. There is more info in the docs about this, or you can email [email protected] for direct questions. -- Richard Schneeman http://heroku.com @schneems (http://twitter.com/schneems) On Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 1:56 PM, [email protected] wrote: > I have to say, I too am really interested in understanding it further as > lately we've been really happy with DreamHost's DreamObjects service > (http://dreamhost.com/cloud/dreamobjects/r.cgi?232913) at their price points > and performance. > > > Thanks for sharing. > > -George > > > > On Feb 6, 2013, at 5:07 PM, [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) > <mike%[email protected] (mailto:[email protected])> > wrote: > > Hi Richard > > > > Does your service have its own standalone web site? > > > > I (and I suspect other developers) would like to know more about your > > infrastructure, experience and pricing in order to compare your service to > > the likes of Cloudflare and Cloudfront. > > > > Regards > > > > Mike > > On Wednesday, February 6, 2013 5:31:40 PM UTC, richard schneeman wrote: > > > CDN Sumo (https://addons.heroku.com/cdn_sumo) provides edge cache CDNs to > > > speed up your app. We're in beta and looking for more feedback on the > > > provisioning and integration experience. > > > > > > If you're running Rails 3 > > > (https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/cdn_sumo), or Rails2 > > > (https://github.com/sumodocs/cdn_sumo_sprockets_rails2) and you want > > > better performance for your users please try out the add-on and let us > > > know what you think [email protected] (javascript:). > > > > > > If you're running other languages or frameworks and interested in getting > > > CDN support, we want to work with you to generate integration docs. > > > > > > We're still in beta, so all usage is free.
