Comment on Remind HN: Heroku will delete all free dbs and shut down all free dynos Monday

Comments

To be fair, I have had quite a few emails form Heroku telling me to move my stuff. Even after I thought it was already shut down, I keep getting emails. Everything I have on there is 5+ year old hobby things that I won't bother hosting elsewhere, it's nice to know they are paying more attention than I am to my projects' fates

I have had quite a few emails form Heroku telling me to move my stuff.

Heroku's warning emails are how I found out two things:

- That I'm still the administrative contact for a former employer's production environment.

- That my former employer is using a free tier for its public-facing web site.

Ethically, I should let the company know is web site is about to go offline. But it's a start-up run like a fiefdom and the founder tells all departing employees that if they contact anyone at the company, he'll sic the (imaginary) lawyers on them.

That's hilarious; I'd heavily encourage you to remove this comment, just in case the lawyers turn out to be real. :)
