I used to agree with you on the price until I realized that with Heroku you're essentially paying for a dedicated server with that much RAM for each plan. Reason being, every single database is "hot" and the entire thing lives in memory to avoid I/O.
On second glance ... you're right. It is kind of pricey.
Speaking of moving to dedicated.. I'd love to hear some of your general feedback on how AWS has been at some point. Essentially where you'd use it again or where you'd go directly to dedicated (or a diet option like a VPS) if you were starting on a new project.
