I'm also a big fan of the professional tier / PX dyno pricing. Brings it down from previously $0.80/hour, which is much more pricey than $500/month with their new pricing.

Still pretty expensive compared to taking the DIY approach on AWS, but I appreciate the price break here.

I imagine their markup on top of AWS is still something crazy like 50% or more?

Considering that m3.large (7.5 GB of RAM vs. PX 6GB) instances, on demand, are $0.14/hour, it's probably much more than 50%. (I'm sure they are using reserve pricing to reduce the price by 50-70%)

Cloud66 gives you most of the convenience of Heroku and lets you use your own cloud provider (AWS, Digital Ocean, etc)
