Comment on Tell HN: I accidentally ran up a $1000 Heroku billparent

Comments

well heroku runs on ec2 and amazon charges them for it because amazon does actually have a finite number of resources ( large but finite ) which means eventually, when you provision to someone, it means you cant to someone else without over provisioning.

just because it is the cloud doesn't make it the IT version of big rock candy mountain.

You're making the assumption that they don't overprovision at all.
