This is a sad day. I used heroku for years (in the past).

A few alternatives to consider

- https://render.com/ - this is very close to heroku

- https://coolify.io/ - My personal favorite. It's slightly more involved, but you can run it on any hardware like hetzner and save a boatload.

How does render compare to fly.io? Does anyone has experience running production rails apps on these?

      I find it quite funny that they give themselves maximum marks for transparent pricing. If you go to their pricing page, everything is priced as “per user/month plus compute costs*”. Maybe it’s just because I’m on mobile and the page doesn’t seem to work super well, but reading if I have no idea what those compute costs are and therefore what the actual cost is.

      Honestly, this is super fair. I went in expecting to hate-read it (not because I have any issues with Render, they're great, just these X vs. Y competitive posts). But yeah, I think this is a reasonable way to look at it.
