Heroku seemed like it was going to be the future back then. Every time I find myself struggling to understand some nonsense in Azure I dream of the simpler future we lost.

Sucks that it didn't become that. "heroku up" or "cf push" (Heroku kind of sort of invented build packs) was hella addictive.
Shoot, I'm sad that Docker didn't become the way to run containers. compose/swarm is still light years easier than Kubernetes
I guess Heroku ran so that Vercel could fly?
They got painfully expensive and then acquired. I still remember the arguments with clients and finally went all in AWS ECS, which is still quite pricey but clients seem to complain less about the Amazon bill then they did about Heroku.
Fly.io brings back some of that easy of deploy.
Caprover for me, but fly.io is pretty cool, reminds me of flynn.io
Especially the pricing is equally joyous.
Yep, agreed. Fly.io is the closest to Heroku that I’ve found.
Give Cloud Run a try if you haven't. It's basically serverless done right.
Azure Container Apps is very similar to Cloud Run if you can't use GCP
I've got to give credit where it is due... It really feels like Laravel Cloud picked up where Heroku left off. Or at least is trying to.
