I've worked on Cloud Foundry, which is ostensibly a Heroku competitor.
The idea that you can replicate Heroku's full functionality "easily" is just silly.
Full-feature PaaSes do a lot of things, including a whole bunch of tedious nitty-gritty details.
We're well into the days of early maturity on PaaS products. You can install Cloud Foundry or OpenShift, or host on Heroku. Writing your own PaaS at this point is a bit like writing a custom operating system circa 1995. Unless you have a compelling reason to do so, you'd be utterly crazy to.
