All of the old prices still fully exist, in no way are customers required to choose the new plans. The new plans where there are equal specs are indeed lower in price in many places. We've documented all of the legacy plans within devcenter https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-postgres-legacy.... If theres ways we can make this more clear then would love to hear about it at postgres at heroku.com.

In regards to the storage limits, this was put in place actually to prevent users from shooting themselves in the foot. We examined all current users in this process as well as connection limits and looked to what limits were used today, as well as when people were over certain thresholds for the other problems it created. As it exists today you would now hit these limits and have a clear understanding of why, versus other problems that previously arose as a result of having them so high.

Thanks Craig! I missed the legacy pricing page and edited my post to reflect this. To make this more clear and transparent, I would include a link to this directly on your blog post. It certainly would've helped me.

If you wouldn't mind me asking, why the removal of the Kappa/Fugu/Zilla price points in the new tiers?

Will absolutely make update the blog post to include the link, was simply an oversight in not having it there in the first place.

Would be happy to detail more on the reason for removing some of the other price points feel free to email me, craig at heroku.com
