This is an old doc from fly so I’m not sure how much of it is still accurate, but it talks about some of the stuff Heroku didn’t have that they have: https://fly.io/docs/app-guides/speed-up-a-heroku-app/

> There's no support for a single dedicated IP address for your application. With Heroku, your application's CPU resources are mostly located in one datacenter. Heroku doesn't support HTTP2 or Brotli compression and it doesn't do Edge TLS termination. And it doesn't run your applications on dedicated MicroVMs. These are all things that Fly's Global Application Platform does.

The other comment that mentions Heroku dropping low cost plans is the reason for the explosion in growth as I understand it though.
