What’s annoying about Heroku and AWS is they made it an “either/or” situation that I don’t see a lot of people challenging.
My ideal would be a service like Heroku that makes it easy to evolve. When the team is between 1-5 people iterating rapidly towards PMF, make ‘git push’ deploy.
As the team grows and CI is needed, make it easy to decouple git from the deployment and support multiple envs. This is where Heroku stops.
Finally when the app becomes larger and more complicated, it should be easy to spin up resources in AWS (or whatever cloud) behind a VPC. Migrating the heroku-like PaaS into this VPC should be easy.
- flybayer 5y agoWe just launched Flightcontrol[1] last month which provides the DX of Heroku (arguably better actually), but deploys all the resources to your own AWS account. Git push to deploy fargate containers + automatic CDN + easy custom domains + auto https + multiple services per environment. Coming soon is databases, private workers, static sites, and multi service preview environments. We set up everything with best practices using VPCs, etc. We link directly to AWS services from our dashboard, but you don't have to know anything about devops. If any of you try it out, I'd love any feedback you have for us! [1] https://flightcontrol.dev https://flightcontrol.dev
