Heroku's ease of use is awesome, but, at least with the free version, your app goes to sleep if it doesn't receive frequent traffic. When you try to access it, it takes forever to wake up and load. If you're trying to demo something, it can make your app look really slow — even if it's not! Just something to be aware of.

Yeah, this can be frustrating.
