And yet, this is why Heroku is around. It is _still_ the easiest way to deploy your application to the cloud. Just do a git push and call it a day.. it has tons of integrations, can easily scale, has great backup and redundancy, integrated pipelines, review apps, great CLI..
People here underestimate the cost of wasting time setting up docker containers and fiddling with configuration files. Heroku is about delegating 90% of your Dev-Ops and actually focusing on your product and it pretty much works flawlessly with many stacks.
I looked at all the alternatives that people mentioned here and none of them hold a candle to Heroku (yes, even in its current degrading state). Perhaps eventually they will, but so far, I am not impressed.
Now if you excuse me, I have a product to build :)
