Anyone know what the experience is like moving from the free tier to the premium one? Do they redeploy the app and then do a seamless DNS switchover, or is there down time, etc?
Our automated migration process is roughly like this:
* back up your code and data on shared infrastructure
* deploy app on a new dedicated app server
* copy uploaded data into place from the backup
* point our load balancers at your new server
* decommission the app on shared infrastructure
Routing is managed via the load balancer, so there is no need to update your DNS. We avoid downtime by pointing the load balancer at your new deployment before decommissioning your deployment on the free tier.
Totally seamless upgrade process. PHP Fog is N-tier, so app servers are on a separate tier, we deploy a virtual machine for you, deploy your code, add it to the load balancer, and then remove the shared cloud.
