If you are fine with running lots of apps on one beefy machine, the project I am building https://github.com/openrundev/openrun provides a similar abstraction as App Runner and Cloud Run (automatically deploy web apps from source). It supports scaling down to zero, but does not yet scale an app beyond one container.
Super cool project!
If you ever get this working for Kubernetes, I'd love to add it to https://canine.sh for a one click deploy, been looking for something like this.

genuinely curious, what would make you trust a PaaS-like platform again? are you looking for control/transparency? is it about pricing?
So much promise as a Heroku alternative with all the AWS integrations but it's basically dead now. Not a peep from them on their public roadmap over at github.
We're having to go back to Fargate with all the operational overhead that entails.
