I have a production app that generates about 500MB of data per day. A small amount of that data needs to be kept hot in cache -- but the rest is accessed infrequently by comparison (but still in a manner that is aided by SQL). No problems at all -- system runs smooth as silk.
The problem is the application was developed based on the specs advertised (as I'm sure countless others also were). Now, the smallest database package with the same storage and connection resources is the "Standard Baku" at $2,000/month. These resources used to be available starting at $50/month. Ouch!! And even then, it is still only the "Standard" feature set -- so none of the new whiz-bang Heroku 2.0 features.
