The announcement I would love to hear from Heroku: "We found out about Moore's law and are passing some of that on to you."

As far as I know, their dyno specs have never improved or decreased in cost.

This is coming from someone who loves Heroku, but wish the dynos were better.

They have new pricing coming soon that includes new dynos but they're not getting any cheaper - and ditching 24/7 free dynos.

According to that link, the price for 1X and 2X dynos is dropping from $35/month to $25/month and from $70/month to $50/month, respectively. That's cheaper, no?

Oops I didn't catch that change.

Heroku is my goto for sites because I can throw my fun little test hobbyist sites on there too.

I might actually have to invest the time to figure out how to host Node/IO on someone else if their free tier goes away

Completely agree - this is especially the case when you get to scale where the 1x and 2x dynos break down because their performance is very variable, so you have to go to PX which are $$$
