Interesting, I totally thought they would have hit this a while ago. For some reason I assumed they might have hit a magnitude higher. But I guess I totally misunderstood their popularity. Whoo echo chamber.

Well, just to ensure we're on the same page; this claims 100k concurrent, running apps.

If a significant portion of these apps were active then that would translate to a 6 figure hosting bill from amazon (per month!).

So either heroku is much larger than I thought, or most of these apps are not actually doing much.
