I am pretty new to web dev and thought I needed a 20gb shared db in order to test out apps that have larger than 5mb stored.
My friend let me know this was not true because I am using single app. He told me shared dbs were used for sharing data between multiple applications.
If so, what is Heroku’s default, unshared db size? I had difficulty in finding this information on Heroku’s website and google searches.
Could anyone chime in?
A shared database in this case means the server itself is shared — so the server’s CPU will be used to serve other databases in addition to your own.
A dedicated database server’s CPU’s are yours and yours alone.
If you need to exceed the 5MB threshold, you need to add the 20GB add on. More information: http://www.heroku.com/pricing
