Not to be unkind but the problems of the uniformed certainly are not the
problems of the informed. Or perhaps they are certainly the problems of
the informed :P. I do read -general and I don't see it much honestly. I
don't watch stackoverflow that much but I am sure it probably does come
up here, sometimes but I bet I can point once again to a lack of
provisioning on their part.
This reminds me of the time that someone from Heroku said at PgEast,
with a show of hands how many people here don't backup there database to
S3. Almost everyone in the audience raised their hands.
Again, I don't question your need but just because it is hot and now
doesn't mean it is healthy. I honestly do no see the requirement you are
trying to represent as a need for the wider, production community.
(in short, not a single one of my customers would benefit from it, and
90% of them are running databases Heroku can't.)
That is not a slight, honestly. I think your service is cool. I am just
being honest.
Sincerely,
JD
