Dokku looks super cool but it's still a lot more involved than Heroku. Heroku doesn't make you think about provisioning servers, updating infrastructure, or manually setting up common integrations like backups and logging.

Just to illustrate the point, dokku's docs[0] for logging say "Warning: The default docker-local scheduler will "store" these until the next deploy or until the old containers are garbage collected - whichever runs first. If you require the logs beyond this point in time, please ship the logs to a centralized log server."

Alright, well, that's gonna be a whole lot more work than two click in Heroku to send all my logs to any logging provider of my choice.
