There are many knockoffs but few gain traction because once they go beyond just basic hosting element as a PAAS to all the millions of things Heroku do behind the scenes they realise they either need to increase prices beyond Heroku or stay as limited knock-off.
I don't know of another PAAS that directly supports Procfiles, Buildpacks etc but I don't think they are the parts is what prevents people from migrating anyway.
- karmakaze 6y agoBoth statements don't make sense to me. If a PAAS doesn't directly support Procfiles, Buildpacks, etc then it's not a clone. And not supporting these files would be precisely a great reason to not migrate, how/when would you want to make that investment into some other configuration/deployment definition that you can depend on existing beyond the cheaper hosting company you're considering using.
