What are the limits of free PaaS with Event Driven server/applications?

I ask this question, because Heroku or CloudControl are not really explicit on how a free application can consume their ressources?!

The application will use event driven based server (Node or Tornado), and event driven is monothreaded, so here is my questions:

  1. How many users in a day can a free application handle, since event driven are not heavy for the CPU, nor for Memory?
  2. In Tornado (I dont know about Node), you can use ThreadPoolExecutor that can use another thread in case of time consuming operations, will the free offer allow me to use this option? Or i will be limited for one thread only?

cloudControl works with containers (LXC), the application is started within such a container and the resources CPU, Memory, Network are restricted to the configured scaling options. Memory is a hard limit, for CPU and Network you get a guaranteed share, if more is available, you get more.

Inside the container you can start and use what you want and need. If you can handle the requests with this limited resources and don't need fault tolerance, you can stick with the free tier.
