https://www.gitignore.io runs on Heroku and it gets 40k+ visitors a month on a free Dyno. I use Heroku because I don't want an IAAS solution, I want a PAAS solution. If I wasn't using Heroku, I would probably find another PAAS, before switching to Docker (even though I do love Docker).

#22I assume this entire article is one piece of sarcasm. Because after reading it, how could any sane person not prefer Heroku?
From your comment I see you didn't read the post.
Read it, it's a lovely 5 minutes piece of writing.

#23Obligatory link to "The S stands for simple", a SOAP-bashing classic: http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/xml/soap/simple
Everything must be in XML. Except the SoapAction header. Which has no defined standard. Yeah I remember all that madness.

Re: “It's The Future”
#25show me an easy way to push a rails application to aws (with docker) that uses RDS ? is there ANY way i can spin up a server, add the ssh keys to some configuration file somewhere and just "docker-magic push" and have my rails application running ? or do "docker-magic bundle exec db:migrate" and have that command run on the server. Or push a Procfile with worker definitions and have the PAAS automatically pick it up,…

That's 1 request per minute, you could slap that into a raspberry pi on a 3G connection, and do the same for your next 400 apps that has 1 request per minute.
People seem to underestimate just how powerful modern machines really are. And I don't get why people seem to think it's hard to deploy simple web applications. Just write a 4-line shell script that rsync's, runs whatever DB migrations you may have and restarts the thing.

#29Did you just tell me to go containerize myself?
Re: “It's The Future”
#30> So I just need to split my simple CRUD app into 12 microservices, each with their own APIs which call each others’ APIs but handle failure resiliently, put them into Docker containers, launch a fleet of 8 machines which are Docker hosts running CoreOS, “orchestrate” them using a small Kubernetes cluster running etcd, figure out the “open questions” of networking and storage, and then I continuously deliver multiple redundant copies of each microservice to my fleet. Is that it?
exactly. I mean look, if you have a lifestyle business that's only going to support 5-10 people, it's totally a waste of time. if you have some hope of scaling this is the way to go. I get it, just use Heroku. It's easy and convenient. If you're planning on a billion dollar exit, this way is way better.

yeah. sorry.
