	Customer	Testimonial
	Lazy Jar	An excellent and straightforward app hosting service. Unlike AWS or Azure, the learning curve for Heroku is shallow. You could argue that it might be pricier as a result; however, at only $7/month, it is easily the best hosting service out there for early startups - Justin Anyanwu, founder of Lazy Jar
	ConvertCalculator	For hosting, I use Heroku and MongoDB Cloud. - Joris de Ruiter, founder of ConvertCalculator
