In fact, I was using Digital Ocean for our company and in process of transferring everything to Heroku. It's been such a breath of fresh air/load off of my shoulders.

As the sole developer, I don't need to worry about my server going down and worrying about the database (although DO introduced managed databases recently). Heroku is perfect for our needs -- lots of scheduled one-off scripts and a rough API.

As the sole dev in my company, I have spent last few weeks to look at other solutions to DO as well. I can work it out fine as is, it's just that nowadays I am getting more and more security questionnaires sent by customers and it would be such a relief to just say that the security of the platform is managed by someone else.

Have been looking at beanstalk but no. Now its between app engine and heroku. Question on heroku: It feels a bit weird they not support hardware 2fa, doesn't it?

Do you have any other insight to give me on your transition?

It's too new for me to have any meaningful advice. The transition has some bumps as I was trying to figure out the Heroku ecosystem (e.g. how to install a python package from a private pip repo, how to use a google credentials file, how to schedule scripts and test them, etc.)

I looked into app engine a few years ago, but it felt more restrictive at the time.
