- adrianpike 14y agoDepending on what you need to do to show off the product, absolutely. A static landing page should withstand just about anything you throw at it.
- oellegaard 14y agoThey will shut down your instance, if you don't use it for an hour or two - and then it will take like 8-10 seconds to load it again. If you can live with that, I guess that would work, yes.
- gkop 14y agoThere are very, very easy ways around this.

- dblock 14y agoFrom what I see, when you have a single dyno, Heroku deploys you to a different environment sandbox called "development". Typically that has less uptime and takes lots of upgrades all the time with interesting consequences. I believe they promote to "production" applications much less frequently.
