So, I'm just a guy who makes video games. A one man operation. I'm mostly interested in interface and game design, I don't know, and don't really want to know anything about running the back end. Just the minimum to get the game running.

Right now I'm running my games on Google App Engine and hosting is about 10% of gross. (Don't know if that's good but it's fine by me). For me, scaling means going from 3 or 4 instances to 20 or 30 in busy times. This all "just works" and I don't have to really do anything.

I've been looking at Heroku because I've been working a little in node and there are some significant advantages to having js on the client and server. (rather than python on GAE)

I was under the impression Heroku would just work too. I may not be an Idiot, but I sure am a n00b.

Is Heroku not for me? Should I stick with App Engine?
