When considering bringing in a new technology, start off small. Start tinkering on something with low risk, low profile. Heroku is a great place to put an app you're working on, without having to also worry about the hosting stack side of things.

Often, getting people to think about new technology is about showing them what you can do with it, after actually building something useful they see value in.

It's about winning people, not winning technology.
