It would be a poor business decision to exclude boot camp students from the upcoming student plan(s). That obviously doesn’t cover all types of learning/getting started though. I too mourn the loss of free, but also think it is the right decision for the times.

Yes, you can access the shared dev plan from outside as well as the crane and kappa plans.
I'd love it if you used the new dev plan for your staging/dev db needs. This can help us drive the final limits.
This should be fixed now.
FWIW: The actual limits of the dev plans aren't set yet.
But what is the use case for a dev databases with 'much more than 5MB of data' ?
If you are on an older ronin or fugu you can't. But you can from all other plans and newer ronin/fugu databases. The limitation on older ronin/fugu databases is related to: https://devcenter.heroku.com/changelog-items/37
Then new dev plans support hstore: https://postgres.heroku.com/blog/past/2012/4/26/heroku_postg...
For now PostGIS is not available on the new crane/kappa plans....
At one point in my life I decided to start my day at 2:00 AM. It was an awesome schedule for getting shit done.
Hah! I've been saying this for a while. Good to see it on Hacker News!
If you have any ticket links or more information about your problems please let us know, inexplicably slow should never happen, especially with a dedicated db.
I'd love to know which Heroku db service(s) (shared or dedicated) you used and what the problems were, so we can fix them.
Don't start one. Hosting is dead or dying.
