This is the main reason I use Heroku. That and the fact that they’ve got some people on the team with very in-depth Postgres knowledge, so if my database gets corrupted they’ll get it back up again faster than I would.

If the worst happens and for some reason they don’t, I’ll deploy to another provider using my off site backups...
