copied!<p>I might as well throw my opinion in here since I have <strong>"tried"</strong> to use EngineYard and <strong>"successfully"</strong> use Heroku. While I think both are potentially good choices, I found deploying to Heroku much easier. The ala-carte pricing for Heroku add-ons may add expense, but it also gives you the opportunity to add functionality immediately to your app. The largest expense for our app is the actual web dynos, followed by the database. <strong>Heroku has a great selection of add-ons, many of which are free or low cost.</strong> EngineYard also seems like a great company but I think they "hold your hand" a little less than Heroku. For my company, the benefits of Heroku outweighed the cost issue. The read-only filesystem which is a platform feature of Heroku also forces you to learn some new tricks. I now have several apps (small to medium) on Heroku and happily have my assets served up from s3. <strong>In the end, I would encourage you to try them both.</strong> EngineYard offers a 500 hour trial (though that is computing hours, not necessarily real-time hours) and Heroku let's you get started right away for pretty much free.</p> <p><strong>PS:</strong> When selecting add-ons consider your choice carefully, just like when you choose gems for your project. I have experienced an add-on that I was using, simply flaming out and had to scramble to replace that functionality. What was it? Progstr-Filer, which I was using for file uploads. That was a lesson learned.</p>
