Good alternatives to Heroku

Vercel Supabase Render Railway PocketBase.io PlanetScale Hugo Fly.io
  1. 1
    Vercel is the platform for frontend developers, providing the speed and reliability innovators need to create at the moment of inspiration.
    Vercel - Never used but and it seems very specific for Frontend developers.

  2. An open source Firebase alternative
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Subpabase - Like Planetscale this is only for databases. It is an open source Firebase alternative for building secure and performant Postgres backends with minimal configuration.

  3. 3
    Render is a unified platform to build and run all your apps and websites with free SSL, a global CDN, private networks and auto deploys from Git.
    Render - I think render is more like a cloud agnostic builder/runner platform, this means that your application needs to be hosted somewhere else.

    Pricing:

    Railway - Language agnostic and for projects big and small. Never used but it seems very easy to use like Heroku.

    Pocketbase - Never used before but it says in their home page the following: "Open Source backend for your next SaaS and Mobile app in 1 file". Seems porwerful.

    Pricing:

    Hugo is a general-purpose website framework for generating static web pages.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    And last but not least, Netlify, which is the one I use to host this website(for free). Hugo + Netlify is a powerful combination.

    Edge computing is the new frontier.
    Fly.io - Very similar to Heroku too, easy to use and support for multiple stacks/languages.
