Advantage to using Heroku?

Hello,

 

Can someone explain to me what is the advantage of using Heroku for Salesforce integration?

 

We have an app that runs on Heroku that retrieves analytics from (google, ms, facebook) and deposits the info into salesforce.  The app was developed using Ruby and is executed everyday through a cron.

 

I want to know why I would not be able to set up a server that runs the ruby process?

 

Thoughts, comments?

 

thanks,

 

Mirko

You really want a good answer from a developer perspective ;-) : http://neilmiddleton.com/why-heroku-is-a-game-changer/

 

And pls have a look on the heroku website! You don't care about the whole infrastructe - heroku does that for you and keeps all the pieces up to date! If there is need for scaling - do it on heroku - in just in time! You have to care about your application and deploy it in an agile fashion --> this is heroku!
