Frequently asked questions
Heroku killed the free tier in November 2022, and Basic tier ($7/mo) sleeps after 30 minutes of inactivity on entry plans. For Indian developers, the situation is worse: nearest Heroku region is Frankfurt (~130ms latency), billing is USD (forex loss), and egress fees hit at 2TB. AIC solves all three: Mumbai region, INR billing, no egress fees, no sleep.
