Hey, I am the PM for this project. It's not our intent to kill free apps. I love weekend hacks and small pet projects myself and Free dynos are still perfect for that. What we've found is that 1000 hours covered about 95% of the Free dyno usage on the platform. In most cases, if you have a bunch of Free apps, they're usually sleeping since they're not receiving traffic. I'd love to hear any additional feedback. You can reach me at [email protected].
Hey, I am the PM for this project. This is really great feedback, thank you for that. We still intend for customers to use Free dynos for their small personal projects, toys, experiments, weekend hacks, etc. If this feels too limiting, I'd love to hear your feedback. Please feel free to reach out at [email protected] and I'll happy to help out.
If you are considering a career as a web engineer, I think the first thing you need to ask yourself, do you enjoy tying and untying knots over and over again. If you do, you probably have the right stuff to be a really good programmer.
