858 PointsSearch / Autocomplete Heroku
My app involves sensitive information and I need to be sure that the data is as secure as possible. I'm looking to implement search and autocomplete functionality in my rails app. It's currently hosted on heroku.
In short, is it a good idea to host client / patient sensitive information on heroku, and is it safe to have another company index that information?
Also, are they any alternatives to doing this?

Treehouse Guest Teacher@Bryan lots of companies use Heroku to host sensitive information. Although, when you talk about client/patient information you are venturing into the realm of HIPAA compliance. I have no knowledge of it except that it's riddled with complex rules and regulations.
