Elevated error rates on applications and deployments

There is much more to Heroku than managed database and git-based deployments. For instance, recently they have seriously improved the CD experience with Pipelines, Review apps and GitHub sync. They also have pretty seamless integrations with hundreds of providers (email, logging, search, monitoring, ...) in the form of add-ons. You get some basic metrics on your application.

And if security is a concern, or/and you want your dynos to talk to each other, they now have Private Spaces (https://www.heroku.com/private-spaces).

Simply said they are taking the "managed services" experience to a whole new level imo.

Plus, you may not care about that, but they actually have a UI/UX team that can design beautiful AND usable dashboards.

(Note: I don't work at Heroku, just a happy user)

True, and that's why I stuck to heroku for a long time.

But, in the end I realised I can replicate most - if not all - of it with docker cloud and github. Most CI services support github anyways, so that's also covered.

And it's significantly cheaper, for my case we have 90% price reduction - paying only for instances + docker cloud.

Not connected with any service.

This exactly. It essentially takes care of all the setup for me, plus the CD and provider add-ons are incredibly easy to install and setup.

I basically outsourced my cloud platform developers.

How does Heroku's CD experience compare with AWS CodePipeline?
