No doubt that Heroku is a great tool for developers. One particular reason for me is its generosity. I will explain how

I found really useful your article, so thanks for sharing it!
But from a couple of years until now, heroku had set protection against these tools, so now the platform has certain restrictions.
An example is that a free heroku app must sleep at least a hour a day, if it passes the restriction, you'll be charged.
Oh wow.
I didn't know about this. I will look into this. Thanks
if app is asleep and 10 users enter at same time will be slow for only 1 user or for 10 users?
Also if you usually have an app with 1k visitors is it really that bad that only 1 will get slow load?
But really nice solutions and I might apply to my projects
Good question @bairrada97 . If the app is asleep it will only be slow to load for the first person to wake the app.
So if I am the first person to load the app, then it will only be slow for me, if after 5 minutes someone else tries to load the app, it will not be slow.
For the second question:
Yeah it's not that bad for just one person (that's why I consider Heroku generous). But why does my app need to sleep anyway if I have more than enough hours per month
Thank you so much for sharing.
Glad you found it useful
Enjoy!
Insightful!
I'd like to refer npmjs.com/package/awake-heroku that is useful for heroku
That's a good resource. Have you tried it before?
Interesting! Thank you for sharing this!
