Moved from Heroku to Scalingo

1) Took a few hours to have everything setup. Transition was easy 2) Not that much. I chose heroku because i hate doing sys admin stuff 3) Can't say for this one, scalingo is a PAAS 4) Scalingo will probably be more expensive for starter plans but as you grow it won't be like heroku's horrible pricing 5) Mostly app with no traffic to be honest

I used Scalingo for Rails apps a while ago, and was quite impressed by the quality of the platform. Very Heroku-like. Maybe not as polished, but still doing the PaaS job pretty well (git push, and you're done).

Thank you for this! We've been looking for an EU based heroku alternative for a while.

Thanks to a couple of people suggesting scalingo here on HN, I gave it a try last night and I'm very impressed with the offering. It took me less than an hour to get our rails template running - with no code changes at all.

The prices are comparable or lower than heroku, and unlike heroku your not forced into paying much more when your memory usage starts exceeding 512 mb.
