heretotroll: Heroku provides plenty of tunable capacity.

Considering their only support for sharding or replication is their async read-only slaves mechanism, I'm going to assume you don't know what you're talking about and think the difference between "1/10th of an overloaded EC2 machine running postgres" and "a whole slow EC2 machine running postgres" somehow constitutes "scalability".

Cool bro.

Who said I'm using postgres? And if you don't like the postgres setup, sure, roll your own. EC2 has those badass SSD instances for you.

Apps' that need more capacity then what Heroku offers can surely drop the dev-ops dollars. Until then, why waste your time?
