-  <p>
-    Please be aware that Heroku automatically kills unpaid apps after 1 hour of
-    inactivity, and then spins them back up the next time a request comes in.
-    This does not apply to paid accounts.
-    If you scale up to two servers and pay for the second one, you get two
-    always-on servers.

-    When Heroku kills The Lounge, you need to connect to servers and channels
-    again from scratch.
-    In practice, you get no always-on functionality with an unpaid Heroku
-    account.
