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 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!

The product looks very promising as someone who has been hosting flask projects on heroku I think its totally worth trying flashdrive and the pricing is just perfect in my opinion.

Hi! Thanks for your interest in FlashDrive! The plan only limits RAM and CPU allocations. If your app uses more than 90% of resources you will receive an email and at 100% the app may crash but reboot automatically thanks to our auto-heal function. Next week we will deploy auto scalling that will let you decide if you want your app to upgrade it's size automatically depending on usage. In any case you are never charg…

Hey man thanks for replying getting over charged without knowing is my biggest fear this is why I’m hesitant when it comes to deploying services on hosting platforms but you cleared my thoughts and I’ll definitely try flashdrive for my future projects
