Heroku Reveals Cross-Region Followers for Disaster Mitigation (opens in new tab)

Given that there is a significant chance that AWS east will go down today, this seems like a useful feature. However since the platform is still only in that data center, I'm not sure how this will help.

How are people on Heroku preparing for the hurricane?

We haven't announced cross-region followers. When we announce it, there will be an announcement.

This is an internal feature we've been using for a while that we thought our customers might appreciate access to under the circumstances.
