My experience with Heroku is limited, basically a node.js homework assignment, so I haven't pushed its boundaries at all. My experience with AWS is a tiny bit more relevant; I've a web2py instance running on Amazon Linux, but it it also is lightly loaded (for the near future, at least). With both Heroku and AWS, you can scale ... for a price. Upgrade "cpu" and RAM, or upgrade storage. Or spin off additional instances. The latter is nice in that you can spin them down again when traffic falls. With AWS, you can also rent out some of your processing power to "on demand" users (AWS mediates that), but that's an "advanced" feature. /dps -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
