- boleary-gl 6y agoI think that lots of the clouds will have their own offering, but having an open source based offering across clouds is what we're going for. Also it's very early stages - but the goal would to be better than Beanstalk
- rad_gruchalski 6y agoAs long as it is faster than gitlab itself, sure. Every time I go to the hosted gitlab, I cringe. I like the product but the whole thing is sooo slow. First, 5 seconds wasted to "check if my browser supports gitlab", then the lag on every click. Hopefully your heroku will have a better experience than your gitlab.

- rad_gruchalski 6y agoWhy should I care? I click sign in button, which takes me to https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in and I see the message. Who cares where it comes from.
- runako 6y agoOh my goodness, no. Beanstalk is a very poor clone of Heroku. Context: I have used Elastic Beanstalk in real production apps for years. For my Rails side project, figured I would use Beanstalk instead of Heroku so that I'm using the same platform (although I have also used Heroku in prod settings). Quick summary is the AWS tutorial for launching their Rails sample app in Elastic Beanstalk doesn't work at all. I though maybe my Rails install was borked somehow, so I tried launching a sample app at Heroku. Worked on the first try. Heroku really spends time making sure everything works out of the box, and that's what you're paying for.
- wussboy 6y agoI've never tried Heroku, but I have tried EB on a number of occasions and never had anything but grief with it. Often takes me days to get something deployed. And the next time I do it, it's like it's all brand new. It never gets easier.
