This is ridiculous (as usual) - what are the alternatives folks are using? Or are there really no options like "git push heroku master" where everything just works (or at least, used to work magically).

Recently pivoted front end to vercel and it has been amazing, but back end has stayed on Heroku because Vercel only currently offers headless RoR. Actively considering alternatives because of this.

OK they finally figured it out at ~7:06pm PDT. So ~90-minute time-to-detect. Nice. https://status.heroku.com/

Odd timing, but Vercel launched databases today https://vercel.com/blog/vercel-storage. (I work there)

Fly.io, Render, Vercel, Railway

I've tried all four, and Render is the closest experience to Heroku. It still isn't as easy to use as Heroku, but it is close.

And it's back.

I figured it would be fixed by morning, which I guess it technically was

Update: Fixed again, no incident report though

There's Koyeb that supports git deployments. (FYI, I work there.)
