I have to use an external database (Dreamhost) to avoid paying $$$, slowing the site down (though not too badly, at least not yet)
Storing the raw ApiInteraction data in a log file would be much better than storing it in the database, as I have to now. (It's highly repetitive and would compress very well. Of course, once the ApiCall analysis in #4 is in place, we may not need to store any data except for archival purposes/the ability to rerun analysis later, which would be useful but not mission-critical.)
Running the rake task from Rails (after being hit by a Dreamhost cron job) is inelegant and probably less stable than native rake/cron.
Having a separate log for the test runner would be nice.
Need to find a better service for the medium term.
@agnoster's description of DotCloud makes it sound their free starter solution could solve many of these problems, though it would suck (probably too much) to have to pay $99/mo just to use a custom domain.
(Dreamhost is out -- shared hosting is limited on resources and fairly unstable.)
Heroku imposes some real limitations:
