Or you could use ep.io, which is comparably awesome and boasts a generous free _per-app_ quota. Either way, these services are great for django. Yay!

Not disagreeing with you here at all--however, Heroku also has a generous free tier for their core services (and most addons).

In the next part of the series I'm going to elaborate on their pricing in comparison to Rackspace for my work project. Heroku is actually significantly cheaper for us, considering we don't have to spin up additional instances for backups, load balancing, etc.

FYI, Heroku also offers 750 free hours per-app.

To elaborate on this: that's enough to run an entire website for free (excluding celery).

If you want to run a celery worker (including beat), you're looking at a total cost of 30$ per month. That's enough for most moderate traffic websites. :)

Is heroku's free instance loaded on demand? If not that would be cool as startup times on the ep.io dynamic instances are v slow.

ep.io's hardware is in Europe. Is the increased latency a legitimate concern for a startup that only serves US customers?

I have a few small things on ep.io right now, and it's great.

This came just in time for me : I need to post up REST demo django app, and was considering taking the dive into Heroku. You've convinced me to jump.

Thanks.
