Heroku has been around for ~17 years at this point. Why do you think it disappears in the next 10?

  Because Salesforce decides it’s not profitable enough to be worth it, or they want to close Heroku off to Salesforce customers, or any number of other reasons

  I mean obviously we're not really privy to market share but I'd say they've had a pretty massive decline in say the past 5 years or so.

  Right, it should say that Heroku has already disappeared. It's still there but feels like something different from what it once was.

    I work there. We are still around. Maybe not making waves as much as we used to but still hacking on stuff. Right now I’m in the progress of rolling out a new platform powered by Cloud Native Buildpacks that allow you to build an OCI image locally. Here’s some language specific getting started (local) tutorials https://github.com/heroku/buildpacks#heroku-cloud-native-buildpacks https://github.com/heroku/buildpacks#heroku-cloud-native-bui...

      Sweet. I know. I even have the $5/mo plan just to keep https://anigram.herokuapp.com/ https://anigram.herokuapp.com/ online :) Nice to hear about the buildpacks. I use Containerfiles but since switching to Podman and Fedora/RockyLinux I've seen stuff about OpenShift which supports buildpacks. https://github.com/sclorg/s2i-base-container/ https://github.com/sclorg/s2i-base-container/

    Migration to fly.io is simple enough ... it is much closer to the original Heroku both technically and as company (if you ever need to contact them)

      For me the heroku database and heroku add-ons were essential, if I was going to use Heroku. Without that I may as well use a IaaS.

  Because it was acquired by Salesforce.
