What Hacker News says?
Very good points, and as the author here ( http://blog.lusis.org/blog/2014/06/14/paas-for-realists/ ) points out: > I should state up front that I disagree with quite a few bits of the 12 Factor model. It’s important to remember that, imho, the 12 Factor model was designed as a business strategy for Heroku. The steps follow exactly what makes an app work best on Heroku, not what is best for an application.
