I remain kind of amazed about how heroku managed to pull off what they pulled off, in the first case.

Also:

> The Heroku exodus broke our assumptions. Pre-Heroku, most of the apps we were running were spread across regions. And: we were growing about 15% per month. But post-Heroku, we got a huge influx of apps in just a few hot spots — and at 30% per month.

I hadn't before seen anyone with a big picture view confirm a heroku exodus was happening, although a lot of people suspected it or had anecdotes.

But if fly is seeing a pretty enormous number of customers moving from heroku to fly... oh wait, now I'm wondering, is this mainly a result of heroku ending free services, and those are free customers coming to fly for free services?

If so... that's a pretty big burden to take on without revenue to match, it does seem kind of dangerous for fly.

Do they unpack what the 30% includes? Is that revenue, VMs, accounts?
