I agree the blog post isn’t clear on that.
I agree a simple production app can be great on Heroku. However besides being costly it is also hard when you want a managed service that isn’t on the platform. There are other reasons, https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/5-minute-production-app/deploy-template#hypercloud https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/5-minute-production-app/deploy... lists 9 in total.
While a production app on Heroku isn’t hard it isn’t trivial either. We’re trying to make the 5 minute production app faster to set up than Heroku for production apps by automatically configuring a bunch of services. We’re not there yet but that is the goal.

The code doesn't scale, has huge downtime, you recommend granting Admin access to the CI jobs, the free tier is only for the first year the account exists. The purpose and focus of this repo isn't clear to me at all.
