I think this is amazing, and immediately had a project in mind for this. But then, I looked at their pricing: $200/mo at the lowest price point.

It's still incredibly affordable, but not for what I had in mind. I wish they had lower levels so I could play.

I'm guessing that they will shortly as it seems like it is a big market hole to plug. I'd bet that since the lowest priced dedicated DB for a heroku app is $200, they've just moved that functionality over.

There's probably some complexity in getting shared cheaper DBs available that we don't know about.
