Ask HN: What should I use instead of Heroku?

I'm in a similar boat. Except I do not want any GitHub integration and would rather not use Docker. I have simple needs and don't want to manage a server. To me, it is rather strange that there are so few providers that allow pushing code without GitHub/GitLab/Git. Allow me to upload a tar (or similar) and I'm happy.

Any recommendations for two small Node.js applications?

Isn't manually installing an application from a tarball more complex than just pushing a branch from your source control?

Tarball: Build, create tarball, push

Git: Build, git commit, git push to some provider

Those seem pretty similar to me. Maybe you are thinking that I could just use my own repository and push that to the remote. But I don't think that such a provider should have access to my actual source code. It does not need to. All I want to push is the built application.

you still need git or other cvs for the tarball approach
