Overall Satisfaction with Heroku
It's how we were hosting chooseyourboss.com (and still are).
With Heroku, there is no need for ops and infrastructure experts, perfect for early stage. That's why we actually went with Heroku instead of a IAAS such as AWS. Simplicity and quickness of setup was essential in our decision.

- It allows you to deploy in production really fast and really easily.
- Pricing. I think it's still really expensive, 5 or 6 years after it went out of beta. I see a lot of colleagues who actually move to AWS because it's less expensive.
- We went faster to production
- We saved on ops salaries, because we didn't hire an ops engineer.
- parse and aws
It really depends what you want to actually do.
If you're building a mobile app and need a simple backend with rest endpoints, just use Parse. If you need to host a little more complex back end, or if you're working on a web application, just go for Heroku.
