Great work! Every time I stumble upon such PaaS services I'm getting hyped until paranoid slap my face. How can anyone trust anything, these days servers can be hacked easily and besides what user's codebases can be accessed by the provider's employees or another third party company.

Are you saying that Heroku's pricing is unfair? How so? Or are you saying that you have an alternative for the sake of diversity, which also has fair pricing?

I don't think Heroku's pricing is unfair, anyway it's not my place to say it even if I think it :) I'm just saying we made the product as developers and with developers in mind in general but specifically when it comes to pricing.

I'm convinced that we can offer a great alternative to Heroku, at a lower cost, without sacrificing what's really matter : network and infrastructure quality, backups, DDos protection etc.

Thanks! I know trust is an important part, I'll never say our servers cannot be hacked because it's not true : any server can be hacked, but we made everything as strong as possible. You can directly use a docker hub image or Github to protect your code, we uses encryption as rest and our backups have data immutability to provide ransomware protection.

Thanks for the reply. I make some faint, intermittent forays into that space (I'm a developer but not that kind of developer). I'll keep it in mind for my next project.

Good luck!
