At this point I now host my small projects (less than 10k users) exclusively on boxes in the corner of my room ha. AWS and heroku are quite expensive for small projects and performance isn't great. Dynamic IP is not a problem these days either (it's also quite surprising how infrequently your IP changes fwiw). If you're looking for heroku like interfaces check out Dokku (or other open source PaaS platforms). After this tier of usage I think I'd consider moving many things to cloudflare workers.
