The product looks very promising as someone who has been hosting flask projects on heroku I think its totally worth trying flashdrive and the pricing is just perfect in my opinion.

I'm just curious lets say you host a small service and pay $3/per month what if the usage of the app increases does that mean I'll be charged more than $3 dollars if I am on the dev plan

Hi! Thanks for your interest in FlashDrive! The plan only limits RAM and CPU allocations. If your app uses more than 90% of resources you will receive an email and at 100% the app may crash but reboot automatically thanks to our auto-heal function. Next week we will deploy auto scalling that will let you decide if you want your app to upgrade it's size automatically depending on usage. In any case you are never charged for more that you decide.

Hey man thanks for replying getting over charged without knowing is my biggest fear this is why I’m hesitant when it comes to deploying services on hosting platforms but you cleared my thoughts and I’ll definitely try flashdrive for my future projects

I know, being over charged is one of the main pain point with cloud services, that's why we made FlashDrive differently and with all services included (load balancer, DDoS protection, SSL certificates, daily backups)! We'll be glad to have you :)
