I'm thinking of migrating the database from Heroku to CrunchyData. Should I do this? Please talk me out of it 😅

Why?

That is a good question! A couple of reasons. I can create multiple databases so I can migrate to solid queue easier (Redis is overkill for my low scale app). Several people told me already that CD is way faster. The biggest reason, I'm starting to trust Heroku a bit less these days.

I don't really know CD to be honest, so I'm more just curious, but wouldn't it mean you'd have to host their DB on one of the big clouds as opposed to Heroku? That might introduce some latency, no? Not that that's necessarily a dealbreaker 😅
