FlyIO and DigitalOcean are trying to squeeze in there. My main issue with DO is their free/low-cost postgres and redis storage is more expensive than Heroku.

- decidertm 5y agoNorthflank offers a free tier including Redis (0.1vCPU, 256MB, 4GB disk) as well as PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MinIO and more. Heroku at scale makes little financial sense for many businesses - our pricing is fair so you can scale as and when your infrastructure demands f.e 7GB on Heroku Redis costs $750 vs $72 on Northflank.

- itake 5y agoI'm tiny fish when it comes to hosting (I spend about $50/mo) and I'm slightly between Heroku and DO's pricing. Northflank appears to be slightly cheaper than Heroku across everything, but its not really worth the squeeze to save $5-10/mo. If I ever grow out of Heroku, DO's 1GB RAM for $5/mo is way cheaper. In theory, I could host my own redis for $5/mo at 1GB too. I wouldn't trust myself to self-managed a DB though.
