The post title and linked page don't make it obvious that this isn't a standalone service; it's a feature of their "now" hosting service. So you can't use it for your app unless you host it with "now".
"now" has a free, highly limited tier for open source projects, but their standard tier is $15/month.
I think the worst part is limiting the number of deployments you can do per month.
> 20 FREE deploys per month
This isn't good. I think the latest meta is that We want people to deploy early and deploy often. If something escapes code review (which lets face it: we make mistakes and is probably just two or more "Looks Good To Me") we want to catch it and deploy a fix as quickly as possible.
Do deploys really cost that much in terms of compute resources for you? Or is it just an arbitrary differentiator?
