Is it just me or is Heroku mostly dead now? Most people I know have given up on "PaaS" and gone back to plain EC2 etc. It's just not that hard to spin up an instance and deploy a rails/django or whatever app, especially with Docker now.

I think its just you. Lots of people use Heroku, I have like 4-5 apps deployed on it, and I know quite a few smaller companies that were completely on it last I checked.

Not just you, I think Heroku is getting a bit pointless.

After all, writing k8s yaml files and automating my infrastructure instead of focusing on my product gets me up in the morning, that's the real excitement. I shouldn't be the only one who is ecstatic about this.

So anyway, why would anyone what to use a PaaS?
