Ask HN: Heroku Alternative for 2023?

9 pointsIgor_Wiwi10 comments

I want to build a small MVP project. From my last experience most time consuming part of development was deployment infrastructure. Is there any tools which allow to bootstrap an application as fast as possible?

Some alternatives were previously discussed on these threads. Hopefully, they are still relevant till this date.

I had a good experience with AWS Elastic Beanstalk. Basically Heroku on AWS. I used it with Docker, but they support having a definition file like Heroku's Procfile as well. It abstracts most of the underlying infra like EC2 and VPCs if you don't want to get into that. It also gives you access to everything else AWS has like RDS. Upgrade paths are simple as well since you're on AWS.

Fly.io is pretty decent

I've been using Cloudflare pages for the past few projects. It's fast to prototype and to get a quick proof-of-concept deployed and working.

https://www.flightcontrol.dev (I’m a cofounder)

I think I need more like fly.io or recent Kamal from DHH, anyway this is my advise regarding the app: I've read the landing page but didn't get what problem this application is for and what problems it helps me to fix. I guess it needs better work with the UI team

thanks for the feedback! All new website and product UI launching in a couple weeks, hopefully it will be more clear :D

But the overall, Flightcontrol works very similar to Heroku except it deploys to your own AWS account

We have some great alternatives these days.

- render.com (I’m using it)

- fly.io

- railway.app

- DigitalOcean App Platform

- Vercel

So far that’s all that came to mind.

render.com seems to be the common alternative
