  1. Make your Heroku web dynos 60% faster with fly.io
    I haven't used Heroku's free product plan, but I personally use fly.io for my personal blog and website and thoroughly enjoy its pain free deployment process. They also have built in secrets management which I was happy to see. There is GitHub Actions for automating things too. They supposedly also decrease latency for your application if you migrate your Heroku app there (again, I haven't used this myself so YMMV): https://fly.io/launch/heroku No skin in the game here, just sharing an awesome free site. You do need to enter credit card information but I haven't gotten any charges yet.

  2. The comprehensive developer platform to build and scale microservices, jobs and managed databases with a powerful UI, API & CLI.
    I agree that the Heroku developer experience has been second to none. I'm a front-end & DX engineer at Northflank and we're working hard to evolve and create a next-gen iteration of the Heroku experience anchored around 12 Factor Applications in a Kubernetes/cloud native era. We're getting very close, come and see for yourself: https://northflank.com. Some key features: * As simple as `git push` to build & deploy services * One-click addons for Postgres, Mongo, Redis, MySQL and more * A generous free tier to get developers on board with minimal friction * Great out of the box observability * The option to set up pipelines for more complex build/preview/release workflows.

  4. Full power of AWS with Heroku-like experience
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Would you mind elaborating on what does the "similar developer experience as with git push heroku master" mean for you? I'm a founder at https://stacktape.com, and we're trying to provide full power of AWS with a developer-friendly experience, similar to Heroku or serverless framework. Even after doing a ton of research, I'm still not 100% sure which of the Heroku's features are the killer features that the competing PaaS platforms must replicate in order to have the "Heroku-like" experience.
