I love Heroku. But I hardly use it anymore.
For personal use it was excellent way to spin up an app and see if it is useful etc. That part I had to stop doing because they changed the free-tier pricing model. So I had to sunset most apps, keep a couple on the free-tier and Hobby-tier, but with no room to add new apps.
For work use it is useful for demos and some small apps. But the main problem has always been scaling Heroku apps beyond a single monolith. Most work projects split and scale across a lot of apps/services etc and that stack part was never easy with Heroku.
So for my personal apps I now have an overkill of a K8s cluster (or 2, maybe 3...) that I chuck all my new apps in. As someone with k8s skills that is ok, but obviously I know that Heroku did 1000% other things in the background that I now have to do myself, and pay for...
