> If Heroku and Engine Yard were too early, we would have seen more widespread adoption of next-generation PaaS (e.g., fly.io, Render).
Biased take from the founder of one of the next-generation companies mentioned: given how new Render and Fly are as companies and products, it's much more important to look at the growth in their adoption. Render's signups were already growing at a rapid pace, but more than doubled overnight after the Heroku incident; give us a couple more years before judging adoption!

Those who aren't adopting are missing out! I've been using Render for a few months now on a postgresql/next.js app and it's really good! Hopefully the new signups continue to accelerate
