#22> Starting October 26, 2022, we will begin deleting inactive accounts and associated storage for accounts that have been inactive for over a year. Starting November 28, 2022, we plan to stop offering free product plans and plan to start shutting down free dynos and data services. We will be sending out a series of email communications to affected users. Sad to see this, but not surprised after the Salesforce purchase…
Google App Engine is still useable on the free tier

I think https://www.koyeb.com/ could be what you are looking for. Let me know what you think! (Disclaimer, I work for Koyeb)

#24Heres the roadmap. Mostly seems like minor improvements and research so it will be interesting to see how the roadmap changes over time.
Overall it feels strange. Next chapter feels more like a “our incredible journey” less of a bold goal. Also really want to make everyone realize it’s Salesforce Heroku now.

#25Heroku’s loss is Replit’s gain. They’re making everything so easy, I expect them to basically be able to pick up this slack in helping make deployments simple.
Re: Removal of Heroku free product plans
#26So their next chapter is obscurity followed by shutting down?
It was clear even before their horribly bungled GitHub security incident that Heroku was on life support at best and it's been a long time since "Heroku" was the answer to "What PaaS should I use?".
The beancounters took control a while back and are sucking all they can out of it before they discard it's empty shell.
Having Heroku as your PaaS provider seems like a bad business decision at this point. You are just begging to have the rug pulled out from under you.

#27Really sad end for Heroku. They never could find a balance between the free tiers they offered and their overly-expensive paid tiers. Now they're entering purgatory before they are ultimately shut down for good.
They had the markings of a long-lasting company in this space but corporate mismanagement has led to this drawn out death for the company. Salesforce buying the company made a few rich, but it really did turn out to be the nail in the coffin everyone said it would be. :(

#28This is a sad day. Pricing changes are always hard, and having been through some of the earlier pricing changes at Heroku you can't make everyone happy. But, so many developers deployed their first app on Heroku and was a staple for so many bootcamps. Without it I'm confident we'd have less developers in the world. It is still one of the gold standards for developer experience. Years after its heyday companies and to…
> git remote heroku push
This was amazing back in the day. I'm much more impressed either digitalocean's App stuff. It just hooks right up to github, autoconfigures, and my devops workflow is reduced to `git push`

#29Why did Salesforce buy Heroku if they're just going to sort of wind it down?

Heroku's got effectively the same and with review apps it's a great experience.
Heroku was early in the integration to GitHub. It was surprising to see how many apps were "broken" and "unable to deploy" with the security incident a bit ago because they did know how to git push they'd only connected their apps to GitHub.
