> As the WebSocket standard is very recent, it has never been supported by ELBs in HTTP mode.

WebSocket has been around since 2010. This is just confirmation to me that Heroku isn't a good fit for apps targeting new web technologies. It's a good fit for apps targeting IE8.



By that logic AWS isn't a good fit for new web technologies either, since that was the blocker here.


This is why I would never use any PaaS, only IaaS. IaaS providers don't do blog posts proudly declaring that they now support 3 year old technology.

AWS is an IaaS ??


ELB is their PaaS offering.


I think you're thinking of Elastic Beanstalk
