I'd like to +1 for Northflank. I've been using it for a few months for smaller projects and experiments, and the dashboard and overall experience has been great. Free tier is good enough to run small apps, and pricing is very competitive.
Also got a lot of rapid email support from the Northflank staff when I ran into issues.

Is the free plan comparable to heroku? So I could get a free Dyno (equivalent) with postgres dB on Northflank? And you can't scale back down to free once you go paid?

Yes you can create a service and a postgres db in Northflank's free tier. Once upgraded there isn't a downgrade, nothing stopping you making another free project however!
Where can I check what regions are available?
https://northflank.com/docs/v1/application/run/deploy-to-a-r...
Currently we support US Central, and Europe West. Which other region would you like to see added?
With BYOC (Bring your own Cloud) you can deploy in GKE, EKS and soon AKS in your chosen region.
This will reaffirm for many the sense that Heroku is being dismantled from within. Feature sunsetting and removal of a free on-ramp doesn't help.
If you're looking for a production alternative to Heroku checkout Northflank.

Comprehensive support for stateful, ephemeral and scheduled workloads. With a generous free developer tier including build, runtime, databases and cron jobs. Always happy to help teams migrate from Heroku.
