This is a thread filled with great insight and experience, so thanks for starting it. If you're looking to move from Heroku/PaaS into your own cloud account on GCP or AWS, please take a look at Coherence (withcoherence.com) [I'm a cofounder] Coherence configures managed services in your own cloud such as Cloud Run in GCP or Fargate/ECS in AWS, while adding in all the missing pieces these providers don't include out of the box, such as load balancer/SSL/DNS configuration, database/redis orchestration, CI/CD integration, Cloud IDEs for development, VPC/networking best practices, long-running workers and cron tasks - all with one simple configuration. Coherence itself has a free tier that fits most projects, but you will need to use credits or pay for you usage of your cloud resources. We'd love feedback and are happy to answer any questions, feel free to ping hn@withcoherence.com!
