Hey friends! I am in the process of drafting a funding proposal to submit to my university and I have no idea what costs I should include for my Rails app. My application will open to my university's students. We are about 1600 students, so the app will handle few requests. The stack is a pretty standard one: Rails and Postgres, with probably some in-memory processing later on. I do however want to expand the application to few other schools so I expect the potential user base to grow. Still, I probably won't have over 1000+ or so users at best in the first year, which is what funding is for.
How much do you think the costs will be? I tried Heroku but to be honest I am still confused by their choice of terminology and I also read that their costs go up fairly quickly. How about a virtual server somewhere? How viable is that solution for someone never managed a virtual server?
