#3So if the plans are named after increasingly deadly things the crane is the least deadly? I guess I could see that.

#5I was just thinking yesterday that their lowest $200/month dedicated plan seemed like such a leap from their 20GB $15/month shared plan.

That's right. They are all Japanese things in increasing order of deadliness.

#7Heroku is really great to get your started if you don't want to worry about managing infrastructure. However, you're paying a major premium for that and you need to have an exit plan from the beginning incase you grow too big and the costs no longer make sense.

#8Tried to set up a dev database from the dashboard; got a generic fail message. Told me why when I tried to add it from the CLI (my acct wasn't verified), may want to make this clear on the dashboard as well.

#9Will be interesting to see what Heroku ends up rolling out for the higher-priced dev database (comparable to the current 20 GB plan).

#10Very cool. I've been looking at spatial databases and the fact that I could get MongoDB running on a free plan (e.g. with MongoLab and MongoHQ) made me go that way. (for now)
PostGIS has been available on Heroku's dedicated DBs (https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/is-postgis-available), but the $200/month was a bit high for early stage. $50 is much more manageable and I might be looking towards Postgres + PostGIS in the future… (assuming that the linked post also applies to these new plans)
