Similar phenomenon, on a smaller scale, is happening with what I call meta-cloud PaaS, which facilitates web app deployments/provisioning. They usually run on top of AWS or other large clouds, hence meta-cloud.
It started with Heroku but now it has gained VC attention in the form of Next/Vercel, Laravel Cloud, Void(0), Deno Deploy and Bun-yet-to-be-announced solution. I'm probably forgetting one or two.
Don't get me wrong, they are legit solutions. But the VC money currently being poured in on influencers to push these solutions make them seem much more appealing than they would be otherwise.
- grokkedit 2y agoHeroku has been around for almost 20 years, Vercel was Zeit ~10 years ago, and they both have always been widespread solutions, I wouldn't say that that there is hype only now I cannot vouch for laravel cloud or void, since I've never used them, nor I will comment on Deno/Bun since they are far more recent
