I didn't realize that. Saving anyone else a search https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-button

There appears to be more vendor lock in with this one requiring heroku specific files...

I'm a bit behind on best practices with Heroku so the heroku.yml[1] config is new to me and it says it doesn't replace app.json. This is where I feel like Cloud Run supporting "plain" docker files or build packs is great. I wonder if Heroku will follow suit and make it a bit easier to deploy "just a container"?

`app.json` serves a different purpose from Dockerfiles (which Heroku also supports). Google's Cloud Run also makes use of `app.json`.

Cloud Run doesn't recognize app.json natively. However this project (Cloud Run Button) accepts an app.json that lets the developer configure env variables to prompt to the user.

Disclaimer: I've worked on this project.

My mistake for confusing Cloud Run and Cloud Run Button.
