npub1y4s7hjcxn9e2dxakrl98taqevp8vk9fn4axpkejqcuvackcg7f6sgnvgt8 (npub1y4s…vgt8) what annoys me is that newsrooms made a carefully considered architectural decision to use Heroku here, because pricing is part of architecture
Those newsrooms were paying for Heroku for other projects! But even $3/month for an interactive doesn't make sense for something that should continue to work (serving minuscule traffic) for decades
This isn't about freeloading: it's about picking tools based on their documented pricing promises
