Earlier quoted context omitted.

you clearly have no idea how things work outside of hobby projects, what about reliability? scalability, guaranteed uptime, resolving incidences,... You can account for all for that for yourself by creating a mini cloud provider.. good luck with that

Easy with the big words. All of that really depends on whether you're B2C or B2B, what kind of app it is and what kind of client. There's a company that has my code (Rails apps) running on Ubuntu Server VPSes with one guy who picks up the phone and restarts the server if something goes wrong (i.e. once a year). And the clients are multi-million businesses.

Yeah, common primitive sense is "big words". You understand that competitiveness and cloud certificatios based on some sort of a measurements of those "big words". I wonder how B2B or B2C is a decisive choice.

Kinda refreshing - within the ever growing genre of stories about Heroku's downfall into junk status - to find such an article with a higher level of detail and analysis of the origins of the problem. There's one thing that somewhat surprised me though: this line: > "In 2018 Heroku was pretty much the only option for a newbie like me to get started with web-development" Was it? Really? I mean, I'm not saying the auth…

Hi. I’m the author. First off, happy to hear you find that refreshing - it’s a really nice compliment to hear!

I, like you, hate blanket statements. Perhaps I should I’ve emphasized a newbie like me in that sentence? I really knew next to nothing about how web development, and specifically serving your site from a server, works.
