I haven't used heroku for a year, my impression then was that Salesforce wasn't putting much energy into it.

Or is it more spritely now?

Also is there a new no-configuration server option now? Specifically where you can have a postgres database, background tasks, and a decent sized community?

There are a big class of web apps that this was a perfect fit for. (And where managing a Kubernetes cluster is too much work)

yea, heroku was kinda a joke as i haven't really heard anything about it since salesforce. it just seems like heroku was a bit ahead of its time - people were really wary about not owning their servers when it came out
