They are not. As they have repeatedly stated. ( Even on HN ) They are chasing the market that is being neglected by all HyperScalers. Which is the small medium market. Simple Pricing, Simple Terms. And some managed services to quickly get product off the ground. ( Which is one reason I make the case why Amazon should have bought Heroku )
They are leading the pack as far as I am aware. Managed DB, CDN, Storage etc ( Although I do think it is getting a little complicated / messy as shown on their website ).Linode, UpCloud and Vultr are catching up.
Not entirely sure about the TAM and profit margin though. I haven't look too closely on that.
