True, but neither are really optimal for serious production use. I've looked at them both extensively as I would love to move off Heroku due to pricing. DO App Platform is still really immature and lacking in a ton of areas. Render is much more polished from a usability standpoint, but AFAIK they don't have any sort of High Availability offerings and have had significant downtime recently.
Heroku, on the other hand has been a hassle-free solution for my company over the past 7 years, and short of a few outages (which were actually the fault of AWS from what I remember), it has been absolutely reliable.
- cpursley 6y agoYeah, Heroku is awesome. I'd stay with them (despite the price) if I could run distributed Elixir.
- anurag 6y agoJust came across this comment (I work at Render). We did have 2 hours of downtime on 9/11 but it was the only big uptime incident in 2020, and we haven't had any major incidents since (even when AWS was down for 5+ hours). We've worked hard to incorporate reliability lessons learned from building the platform at scale especially as we've grown [1], and I hope you'll give us another chance. If I can do anything else to help, my email is my HN handle at render.com.

- cpursley 6y agoMaybe this is the wrong place to ask, but are y'all planning on adding an s3 comparable file storage service? That would be the missing piece for us.
