For all heroku's frustrations (and I agree with all of them in the article), it is still the only thing that "just works" for a standard monolith web app. Heroku is not cheap, but it is still cheaper than a couple full time employees + aws. It is really too bad they aren't innovating - they are just burning up their 10 year lead in the space. I wouldn't start a new project on Heroku - not because of the cost, but bec…
Heroku is not _the only thing that just works for standard monolith web apps_. Plenty of others in this space, like netlify, vercel, firebase, etc. I don't know how they all compare to each other, I don't use any of them.
In the last decade, a vast majority of DevTools companies have positioned themselves as “A better Heroku.” And yet, when people actually need a Heroku alternative, everything comes up short. This is a testament to a solid product Heroku built. It was definitely ahead of its time.
Porter is one of the only ones that seems to offer feature parity across aws and gcp.
Render.com looks cool but is also AWS only.
A good article, except for one big thing: this is not an end user, rather a direct competitor. Public articles that criticize competitors always run me the wrong way. I haven't used Heroku in a few years, but it has served (using the Hobby plan) as a really low cost way to host web apps. I have been reading through the comments on alternative providers, and even though I haven't used it, GCP's Cloud Deploy looks inte…
Or Vercel
Best scaling in their free plans
Heroku hobby is a joke in comparison and hasnt been updated in a decade while all their addons have gotten less and less featured while costing more and more
I host all my static assets on IPFS which practically nullifies the bandwidth limits of Netlify
Other than Dokku how many other PaaS solutions can be run on your own hardware?
currently using a combination of docker swarm, traefik (via service labels) and portainer.
totally in love, doing good for our needs (1 monolith, 12 microservices)
Of course, I’d agree with the idea that conflicts of interest should be disclaimed: I’m the co-founder of Coherence (https://www.withcoherence.com).
Seems the key issues raised by the article and comments here are: - costs and resource control constraints when using Heroku - fixed base costs of k8s when using self-hosted PaaS type systems - flexibility constraints of heroku-similar PaaS - the desire for teams to get more ownership than Heroku gives them when it comes to configurability, reliability & security
Coherence disagrees that the next generation of PaaS should be a black-box - like Heroku, many next-gen PaaS are not hosted in your own cloud and re-implement the wheel when it comes to functionality like persistent storage, hosted databases, and application support services like redis. In the end, we believe that building on top of the major clouds (Google, AWS, Azure, CloudFlare, etc…) is the right choice. It’s also important to us that you're able to host customer data in mature systems that you control. This philosophy also allows Coherence to help you use managed services the large providers have built, like Cloud Run or App Runner, which at least partially mitigate the cost and complexity risks of k8s.
Coherence is vertically integrated, composable, and opinionated, with a focus on developer experience. A defined workflow for production-quality full-stack web apps with dev and production built in alongside automated test environments, including CI/CD and cloud IDEs - all configured with one high-level YAML. We’re in a very early private beta on google cloud right now - if you’re interested, please check out our site above and let us know!
I'm historically a huge Heroku defender. Been using it for a decade now, and my company still uses it despite being quite large and getting a lot of traffic. It's always been a great product and the early Salesforce days they DID ship a ton of new stuff and improve rapidly (despite a narrative that they didn't). Like, it got REALLY GOOD the years after acquisition. That being said... it's insane that we haven't been…
