Preceden replaced Heroku

Now: Hatchbox on existing DigitalOcean cluster, running 5 months

$1,747net saved per year, after running costs

Matt Mazur moved Preceden off Heroku into the Hatchbox-managed DigitalOcean cluster he already ran for Emergent Mind, so the app shares existing servers and only adds a bigger database volume and a smaller SendGrid plan.
