I lament what could have been with heroku. I did some back of the envelope calculations for what it would have cost for my own startup to run on it and it came out to significantly more than what it costs us on aws INCLUDING our dedicated devops guy. They really killed its utility for anything bigger than a hobby project.

This is exactly why we built https://canine.sh, to try to rebuild Heroku in the open source

We begged heroku for years to lower their prices but they just kept increasing it.

I even showed a rep a side by side comparison of heroku vs raw AWS costs and it was 8x. Absolutely couldn’t justify

.net is probably one of the top 10 worst names in history or is it only me?

No, you are not alone.for non-tech population, it may make sense that .NET 5 is continuation of .NET 4. But the tech crowd knows .net 5 is to .net 4 is what angular 2 is to angular 1.

With .net 4 still in active use, the naming makes it harder

Probably. But I got over it 25 years ago. I think of it as “dotnet” in my head which seems better.

this is the way .. I mostly just think of it as c# too (I know f# etc exists but nobody I know is using it)

Might be more confusing when you consider that ".NET 5" is actually the continuation of ".NET Core 3.1", not ".NET Framework 4.x"[0].

Microsoft has historically been pretty bad at naming stuff (sometimes hilariously so, see Microsoft PlaysForSure[1] for an example - spoiler: it surely didn't play for long).

The rebranding from .NET Core 3.1 to .NET 5, and from .NET 4.x to .NET Framework, did make sense to me though - and increasingly so as development continues on ".NET > 5" with yearly releases, while ".NET Framework 4.x" is in maintenance mode.

Isn't Dokku doing that already?
