" If you sum EC2 and Heroku you are going to pay like 10x what it takes to run the same machines power in a dedicated server, all this because you can't handle the operations? This is absurd IMHO."

It really depends. My current experience with heroku is that it is absurdly cheap - at least, for our use cases. We would have to do a lot more traffic for us to ever consider moving to a colo.
