Can you clarify how Heroku fits with Cloudflare? If I have a domain registered via Namecheap or Google Domains, then point the appropriate record at my Heroku subdomain, it works easily. Heroku also includes easy SSL support. I hear about using Cloudflare often for DNS usage, I just have limited experience with the network side of things, so Ive never been clear why it's something that you need a standalone service for at the MVP stage?

Heroku free tier does not support SSL, but you can add it using cloudflare.

Oh, cloudflare is amazing. A few really great things it does: free(ish) bandwidth, ddos protection, cdn caching, configurable page rules to apply all sorts of things such as granular caching, workers including a key/value store database, to run code inside 150 points of presence all around the world... Plus it does dns and ssl like you already have. They do a bunch of other amazing things as well, but those are a few favorite features off the top of my head. Definitely check them out!
