I used to believe there was a future in having a "heroku-like" PaaS on top of your AWS/GCP/Azure. Enough so that I tried to built a company that would be an offering in the space. The reality is that each of the major cloud providers have gotten so good that it basically defeats the purpose of having your own PaaS on top of them. For 95% of cases, the default products from each cloud provider is good enough now. It's all very easy now. So the remaining bucket from Heroku that still needs to be filled is for those who have small or side projects and aren't willing to pay (a lot) for hosting. If you're trying to build a business around these "customers", you will be in a world of hurt and just racing to the bottom dollar.
