Heroku keeps adding features, allows more control, supports bigger companies and have many many plugins (elements I think they call it) you can install.
There's already new PaaS with less features (and cheaper). You push something to a repository and they run it. I saw https://www.netlify.com/ mentioned a few times on HN. And https://render.com/ seems similar. For static websites those are free, I mean hard to compete with free. I'm sure they will add more features in the future, slowly becoming the next Heroku.

We haven't done an official HN launch, but Render was built to solve the cost and inflexibility issues with Heroku. I'm the founder and always happy to answer questions.
