Heroku? about zippopotamus-cloud HOT 6 CLOSED

Its storage, we have about 1 million records that we need to store or the ridiculously priced mongo storage.

I will look into moving to heroku postgres.

With a 960 MiB database like that, you could fit the DB on a MongoLab "Small" shared plan costing $10/mo (heroku addons:add mongolab:small). If that's too ridiculously priced, you could try optimizing your database's size by reducing the size of your fields (eg. using 'cc' instead of 'country abbreviation') and seeing if that would bring the fileSize to under 512MiB (which MongoLab will host for free with a Starter plan).

No, sorry for the oversight, that is certainly reasonable. I will move it over to heroku asap
