Ask HN: Heroku Alternative for 2023?

9 points by Igor_Wiwi 3y ago

I want to build a small MVP project. From my last experience most time consuming part of development was deployment infrastructure. Is there any tools which allow to bootstrap an application as fast as possible?

  I think I need more like fly.io or recent Kamal from DHH, anyway this is my advise regarding the app: I've read the landing page but didn't get what problem this application is for and what problems it helps me to fix. I guess it needs better work with the UI team

    thanks for the feedback! All new website and product UI launching in a couple weeks, hopefully it will be more clear :D But the overall, Flightcontrol works very similar to Heroku except it deploys to your own AWS account

render.com seems to be the common alternative

I've been using Cloudflare pages for the past few projects. It's fast to prototype and to get a quick proof-of-concept deployed and working.

We have some great alternatives these days. - render.com (I’m using it) - fly.io - railway.app - DigitalOcean App Platform - Vercel So far that’s all that came to mind.

Fly.io is pretty decent

I had a good experience with AWS Elastic Beanstalk. Basically Heroku on AWS. I used it with Docker, but they support having a definition file like Heroku's Procfile as well. It abstracts most of the underlying infra like EC2 and VPCs if you don't want to get into that. It also gives you access to everything else AWS has like RDS. Upgrade paths are simple as well since you're on AWS.
