Yes, but with the cloud I'm also only one platform issue away from not having my virtual instances start correctly. Like the one on May 22nd this year.

Last year, my bare metal website had 99.995% uptime. Heroku only managed 99.98%.

Of course, I could further reduce risk by having a hot standby server. But I'm not sure the costs for that are warranted, given the extremely low risk of that happening.




I didn't bring up the cloud but ok. Can you link the outage? A googling couldn't find it.
