The perfect PaaS: Does it exist? Or impossible to build?

Have you taken a look at https://hop.io/ ?

Seems to be an attempt to recreate the best parts of Heroku with some extras.

Hmm, I think I saw them before but didn't try it since it's still in very early stages, judging by their documentation.

I can see it more like Fly.io competitor, rather than a full platform. At least based on what is in their docs now.

The thing is that abstracting away all the resources means you need to recreate everything from scratch (even if you use a cloud provider underneath), and this takes huge time.

In my case, having the nice Developer Experience on existing products offered by AWS (or others) would be a better suited solution I believe.

we believe we're building a vercel-like experience on top of your AWS or GCP account at withcoherence.com. We offer cloud dev environments, full-stack branch previews, managed CI/CD and deployments in your cloud account. We'd appreciate any feedback.
