It's great you disclosed this information, and you wrote an excellent article imo.
I hope it's fair to say that you work for a direct competitor to Heroku, and that the intention of the article is to share how you've learned from the parts of Heroku that people loved and are working to build on these ideas in the work you're doing (which is great!). I'd prefer knowing that the article is written by a competitor at the start versus casually towards the end.
I hope I didn't offend you by my comment! :)
- pvg 4y agoYou should just write something like this the first time around because just pasting a random line from the article ends up looking like the sort of thing the guidelines harumph about: Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead.
- MattyMc 4y agoThanks for that feedback, you're absolutely right. I'll do that.
- swyx 4y agoreally wouldnt say vercel is a direct competitor to Heroku, insofar as HN is a pretty discerning crew as to how a serverless-only platform differs from one that lets you run servers.
- leerob 4y agoYeah, we have quite a few customers who host their frontend on Vercel and their backend on Heroku.
