They won't let you. It's part of their business to keep you locked in.

Yes, it is, but why or what for?

The routing layer being down while workers/data services stay up is such a specific failure mode. Usually means the load balancers or edge routing got corrupted somehow, not the ac…

Yeah, if Heroku's cert rotation depends on Google's CA and it tried to renew during the outage window, that'd definitely cause problems. The 8-hour ETA is rough. This is why multi-…

The fact that your database is reachable but the app isn't after restart points to the routing layer being toast. If you can ssh into the dyno or check logs, look for anything rela…

The status page lag is the worst part. Hard to debug when you're questioning whether it's your config or their infrastructure. At least when multiple providers go down at once you …

The CA outage is hitting a lot of services, but yeah, Heroku's been on a slow decline since the Salesforce acquisition. Free tier killed, pricing creep, stagnant innovation. Even w…

I've been watching this thread closely. We built miget ( https://miget.com/ ) specifically because of these pain points. The Heroku-style DX without the eye-watering bills or corpo…

The enterprise communication breakdown is rough. We built miget ( https://miget.com/ ) partly because we kept hearing stories like ojame's - long-time Heroku users stuck between ex…

We built miget.com specifically for cases like this. Free tier (no card required) with 256MB RAM should handle Spring Boot apps fine for teaching purposes. It's much simpler than A…

The AI-assisted provisioning part is wild. That setup would've taken days just a few years ago. One thing worth considering: at $200/mo you're still managing patches, security upda…

This exactly. The tech migration part is usually straightforward (Buildpacks and Procfiles work mostly the same across platforms), but the harder question is "how do we avoid this …

I used Heroku until 2023 too. That "operational excellence" line felt like a euphemism for "we're done here." The frustrating part wasn't just the lack of new features - it was wat…

The "on life support" analogy is spot on. We built miget ( https://miget.com ) specifically because of this pattern, watching platforms slowly sunset while users scramble to migrat…

Yes, have you seen miget.com by any chance? You can start with the free tier, and can have a backend with a database for free (256Mi plan). If you need more, just upgrade. They red…

Just use container-os as your runtime image: https://hub.docker.com/r/miget/container-os and you should be good

Interesting. Is this going to be integrated with Jira, ClickUp, etc?
