Heroku free has a 5 MB database and 1 dyno. A dyno is an instance of your application running and responding to requests. In addition, there is a 100 MB limit of your slug, this includes all gems you use. Heroku has a soft bandwidth limit of 2TB per month.

    Thanks a lot! I really think Heroku would be a cool place to host my web apps. – Raven Apr 05 '11 at 04:08
  • Yes, it is awesome, and there are many ways to get more out of it too. For instance you can use something like the [asset_sync](https://github.com/rumblelabs/asset_sync) gem to make your app even leaner and more responsive. Try out the caching options too. – stephenmurdoch Nov 16 '11 at 01:52
