Right, it should say that Heroku has already disappeared.

It's still there but feels like something different from what it once was.

I work there. We are still around. Maybe not making waves as much as we used to but still hacking on stuff.

Right now I’m in the progress of rolling out a new platform powered by Cloud Native Buildpacks that allow you to build an OCI image locally. Here’s some language specific getting started (local) tutorials https://github.com/heroku/buildpacks#heroku-cloud-native-bui...

Migration to fly.io is simple enough ... it is much closer to the original Heroku both technically and as company (if you ever need to contact them)

  • For me the heroku database and heroku add-ons were essential, if I was going to use Heroku. Without that I may as well use a IaaS.
