Hey thanks for sharing the insight, was really interesting!
Especially pointing out the ease to switch add-ons, that was something I was afraid of: to depend on the add-ons once I start using Heroku.

We've switched for as simple reasons as wanting to log in in a different way (e.g. keep the same service, but switch from "add-on" to just "regular use of service"). Add-ons are great because of how easy it is to upgrade, downgrade, add, remove, etc. but sometimes there's a reason to go with a different route and all approaches are effective.

You got a good point there. For my next project that needs to be hosted, I'll give Heroku a try. Thank you for revising my fears πŸ‘
