It really surprises me there isn’t a modern heroku alternative that supports the same.. things. Like build pipelines, routing included, multiple worker types. AWS is way less batteries included. And none of the competitors seems to offer the same kind of service, last time I looked.

I think there's a couple decent alternatives out there: https://alternativeto.net/software/heroku/

There are also a lot of cool "self-hosted Heroku" alternatives

    Literally nobody who seriously uses Heroku wants to self-host their own Heroku.

      We had an enterprise account on Heroku. We invested a little in Dokku and moved to self host it as of a few months ago.

      We now have a kubernetes (k3s) backed Dokku self hosted on Hetzner. Significantly cheaper but pretty robust.

      Just saying that it's not literally, but you are right, most people wouldn't be interested in self hosting.

    Thanks for the reply! Most of these (also on the alternativeto) are self-hosted, which is different from having heroku do it. Also most only support webservers, while the majority of our servers aren't web..
