Depends on how long they can sustain offering high performance root
servers for free. Doesn't sound like a feasible business model.
But indeed there seems to be a market niche for a service that offers
few but resource intensive builds per month, as opposed to many less
intensive test cycles.

BTW, I have a nice card in the backlog, writing a heroku buildpack for D.

Heroku is a slightly expensive, but heavly used PaaS.
They offer a free tier (https://www.heroku.com/pricing) that has plenty
of resources to deploy small vibe.d apps.
