Well for one there's no MySQL hosting at Heroku. So unless you've got a server somewhere else this is a non-starter.

#4This is killer for small wordpress sites. You essentially get free custom domain hosting until it hits a traffic level where it needs something more significant, then you can re-evaluate your options.

#5Not exactly the same, but you can use BitNami and the AWS free tier (disclaimer, I am a developer) to deploy Wordpress with one click

Heroku has addons (which are pretty fundamental to the system - even 'custom domains' is an addon, albeit first-party) which provide MySQL - it's even stated in the article...

#7This is cool, I'd wonder how many wordpress plugins are prepared to work with a read-only filesystem.

the cedar stack has a writeable file system, though no persistence across dyno recycles/restarts.

On the Cedar stack, the slug is still read-only, but the ephemeral filesystem is writable. The slug is what gets deployed on each new dyno spawned. The ephemeral filesystem is the individual file system on each dyno. So a plugin like WP Super Cache would be able to write to the file system, but that cache would only exist for the individual dyno that wrote it.

#10As Heroku has a Postgres backend, I imagine you could also install PG4WP (http://www.hawkix.net/tag/pg4wp/) which is a plugin to get Wordpress working with Postgres DBs, and just deploy directly using Heroku alone.
You may run into problems with any other plugins which use MySQL specific SQL syntax though.
