What’s the best alternative to heroku today for someone that doesn’t want to do any sysadmin and just dump a Django site and database somewhere?

Any VPS you fancy that fits the price/performance/location/support you want, then point Coolify/Dokploy/whatever at it.

I did just this using Coolify, Mythic Beasts running Django & Postgres the other month from Google App Engine. Hilariously easy, even with my extremely rusty skills.
