| Could you please clarify? I haven't noticed any impact to Heroku on my web applications; it.. just works, anecdotally. They send periodic mandatory upgrade emails re database and application stack, but they have been harmless so far; going back a decade. |

| They went from leading / pioneering horizontal scalability and database deploying and scaling and orchestration to "quiet-quitting" 15 years ago and doing almost nothing ever since - today they're barely worthy of mention in any discussion on any tech that solves these problems. |

| ▲ | the__alchemist 2 days ago | parent [-] | | We define worth. I mention Heroku as a great way to make web applications at various scales. Reliable, and easy to use. | | |
| ▲ | nine_k 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Heroku was / is like a mainframe. You get provisioning, scaling, configuration, etc all sorted out for you, as long as you pay through the nose. | | |
| ▲ | ksec 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | I kind of think Railway and Fly.io is taking that spirit forward? Although I would love if Salesforce would just sell Heroku to somebody else and take it forward. | |
| ▲ | the__alchemist 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | So, it's a price issue? My confusion / out-of-the-loop is thus: I hear that Heroku has gone downhill, is no longer recommended etc, yet I've noticed no degradation personally. Works well, is stable, has all the benefits I initially liked it for. | | |
| ▲ | benoau a day ago | parent [-] | | I mean their prices have never been great, but the sadness is because they should have WON - Heroku should have been the standard for deploying and managing hosting instances and databases and stuff on any cloud. |
