Sentry replaced Heroku

Now: Own leased dedicated servers, running 14 years

$8,400saved per year, running cost not disclosed

In 2012, when Sentry's hosted service was still a bootstrapped side project, David Cramer moved it from Heroku to dedicated servers he ran himself. Heroku dynos couldn't keep up with the workload, and the bill had reached almost $700 a month.
