As many have already pointed out, I was one of those that started my developer carrer by using Rails + Heroku from tutorials and bootcamp. To this day, I still haven't found a solution that works as easily as that Rails + Heroku duo did in that time. I still remember when I got my first real paying customer and in about 4 days had a "first version" of their webapp up and heard all the praise they gave. And it was literally just a initial Rails app with login with Devise, a couple of resources of CRUD and a domain linked to Heroku. I still have some apps there from my portfolio in the free tier. Probably time to move them somewhere else, but I, as many, was very, very sad to hear that news. Heroku is past is heyday but I'll never forget my excitement when I got my first real customer app deployed, with database and everything, within hours, with no more than a few weeks of starting to learn programming under my belt. It's not like they are shutting down right now, but it sure feels like that. Thank you for the free tier for all these years, Heroku!
