incredibly cool. im inclined to simplify a lot of my heroku services to a couple workflows here but have the following concerns

* proven data privacy and security

* longevity of this project

* pricing model (free seems unsustainable and suspect)

* daily quotas (30mins seems like it will change)

Hi, Pipedream co-founder and engineer here. Thank you for noting the concerns. Some questions / thoughts below:

* Would technical docs on our privacy and security practices help? e.g. how we use AWS, specific security controls, automatic data deletion policies?

* Yes, the product is still in beta but maturing quickly. Happy to answer any specific questions where you think lack of longevity will be an issue for you.

* Paid plans for individual developers, teams, and enterprises are coming soon. We started with a free tier to encourage experimentation and solicit feedback while the product is in beta. This has worked well, but lack of pricing is one of the top pieces of feedback - I hear you clearly on the concern.

* We've raised the quota for early users who need that added time, and we're happy to do it if you expect you'll need that for your workflows. In general, we expect the 30 min daily quota to stay that way for users of the free tier. You'd then be able to pay for additional time.

Let me know if that helps and reach out to dylan [at] pipedream [dot] com anytime.
