I like the idea of rebuilding Heroku without the command line. It's not for me, but it's probably for somebody.

There's just too much of a premium for this over a standard DigitalOcean droplet though. At the low end you're paying double for the same resources, and at the high end you're paying 4x.

I deployed a toy Node.js app that was a bit too resource hungry for 1 virtual CPU. The cheapest plan with 2 virtual CPUs is $150 per month (vs. $15 for a droplet with 2 virtual CPUs).

Seems like there are some pricing issues to work out.

Not sure what you mean. Heroku can autodeploy from a Github repo just as well? You don't need the CLI for that
