Review Heroku?

Heroku is highly praised for its ease of use and robust platform, making it a preferred choice for developers. Makers of Reef and Lingocat commend Heroku for simplifying deployment and scaling, especially for side projects. It is noted for being more user-friendly than AWS for those not needing extensive customization. The makers of Mixture of AI also highlight its seamless deployment capabilities. While some users miss the free tier, Heroku's integrations and quick deployment features remain strong selling points.

We love Heroku because it lets us focus on our app, not on server configs. Their straightforward CLI, scalable dynos, and integrated add‑ons mean we can deploy in minutes—ideal for both quick prototypes and serious production workloads. Alternatives Considered: AWS EC2/Elastic Beanstalk: Powerful, but more setup overhead than we needed initially. Google Cloud Run: Slick container‑based approach, but Heroku’s developer experience is simpler. Azure App Service: Feature‑rich, yet Heroku’s one‑command deployments suited our quick iteration style better.

Was able to deploy within an hour. So much easier than other deployment infra or platforms. Integrated seamlessly with Github for easy automatic deployments.

To confirm their findings, the Heroku CUSTOMER SERVICE (8O5) 41'O 56OO PHONE NUMBER ( 8O5)- 41O 56OO researchers analyzed the probability of success among founders of different ages by calculating “batting averages” – the likelihood of a founder making it into the top percentile. The data indicated that a founder who is years old has times greater odds of starting a successful company than a -year-old

Easy to deploy software quickly, with lots of integrations. No longer has a free tier though.
