If you run Cloud Foundry (CF), you can get the Heroku experience on your own setup. It works on vSphere, OpenStack, AWS, Azure and GCP is getting there. More platforms are coming.
I work at Pivotal, we donate the majority of engineering to CF. We also dogfood it by running Pivotal Web Services (PWS)[0], which is a Heroku competitor.
One major difference: PWS (and CF) doesn't have fixed instance sizes. You can specify, to the megabyte, how much RAM you want your app to have. Other resources are dished out proportionally.
PWS has thousands of customers, thousands of VMs under management by BOSH, I'm not sure how many apps and services at this point. Last I checked, it's run by about 8-10 people in two shifts (SF and Beijing).
