Maker reviews of Heroku
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.
Heroku is an easy-to-use PaaS, it provides you all the tools you need to deploy quickly and continuously. I'm a huge fan of using Heroku for building side projects and have found it has many features that allow you to scale as well. Heroku is much easier to work with than AWS when you don't need the level of customization that AWS provides.

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

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
