Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

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...

For $70 a month, and it's not available to most people. Do your own fact checking.

This is great but, whats the best way to store attachments ?

You could use a WP plugin that stores them on Amazon S3. It's not free, but it's like < $1 month for normal blog needs.

The only plugin available explicitly states (on the Settings page, after you install and avtiavate it) that it doesn't upload directly to S3. It has to upload to your server first.

edit: actually, I think the upload to S3 button is different from upload media button. That's why I didn't see it.
