#12I'm not sure why, but I was under the impression that Heroku had been shut down months ago. I may have been thinking of Nodejitsu (which has been acquired by GoDaddy). Did Heroku change owners at some point or am I imagining things?
Heroku was acquired by Salesforce in 2010.

Heroku has been owned by Salesforce since 2010, and it's very loved in the SFDC family.
No chance of it shutting down anytime soon.

#16This is kind of offtopic but what is the attraction of using Heroku over using EC2 directly now. I remember back in the day when EC2 didn't have RDS and Elasticbeanstalk Heroku was an attractive option because you could deploy and scale without needing to do any kind of system administration.
But now EC2 is offering managed databases through RDS and elastic bean stalk gives you git style deployment similar to Heroku I don't see what Heroku is offering other than another point of failure and another set of security problems. It looks like Heroku uses linux containers for isolation. So not only do you have to worry about someone attacking the underlying EC2 VMs Heroku uses but you have to worry about the tenants collocated on your Heroku VM attacking you through the linux kernel as well.

Yep, people are melting down on Twitter about not being able to order food. And on the day that Amazon launched Amazon Restaurants in London with one hour delivery too...

#20What options would you consider if heroku was down permanently ?
If you are just using heroku to run a process it is pretty easy to rebuild on AWS. Here is one fairly solid guide: http://blog.clearbit.com/ec2-heroku/
Depending on what language you are using google's app engine could be a quick replacement.

I'm not a big fan of docker for a few irrelevant reasons but using it w/ heroku makes it very easy to migrate to other container hosts.
edit: the founder of Flynn replied to parent as well, that is also a great alternative that I forgot to include.
