I don't know what you mean. It's literally one click to configure a persistent database and redis on heroku. It's true that "persistent storage" can get more complicated, depending on what you mean, partially because that phrase encompasses a variety of different things for different needs. I don't see how you could possibly make this easier. You could make it cheaper, and possibly "transportable to a differnet vendor" (even a non-AWS vendor), which is what some people are chasing. To do this while being as easy as heroku is the holy grail. (not easier but as easy because configuring a persistent db or redis is already at the literal maximum of easiness on heroku). But you think you can make configuring a persistent database easier than heroku? I honestly have no idea what you are thinking of when you say this "takes a while to do" on heroku. Are we talking about the same heroku?
