Do you know what Heroku offers over a VPS? They're not the same thing.
- criley2 11y agoHeroku does not offer much over VPS+Dokku. For the money, Heroku offers far far less than VPS+Dokku
- josegonzalez 11y agoSpeaking as one of the Dokku maintainers, that is a false statement. Security, true isolation, the ability to easily scale horizontally and vertically, integrations into many services are all things Heroku offers that you need to work hard for in Dokku. Disregarding the fact that you need to maintain your own server(s) with Dokku, Heroku is tthe clear winner here. The only thing Dokku offers people is the ability to save some money at the cost of their own time. Sure, I can manage just fine as I was maintaining my own servers anyhow - and know how - but honestly I already have a dayjob, why would I want to make my programming hobby more work?
