I remember seeing discussions in the past where it was said that Heroku can scale to handle any site, and that there haven't been any sites yet that have left due to inability to scale.
Is this to say that it is plausible that Heroku's platform could handle running the biggest applications on the Internet, such as a massive search engine (say, Google) or a massive social network (say, Facebook)? I can see why with the dyno system the scaling is effectively unlimited, but I'm a little concerned because with only one database server, it seems like it would be extremely difficult to handle database-heavy use cases. Are there any examples out there of really large and popular sites (especially those that are heavy on the database load) that are run on the Heroku platform? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Heroku" group.
