I used Heroku until 2023 too. That "operational excellence" line felt like a euphemism for "we're done here."
The frustrating part wasn't just the lack of new features - it was watching the price stay high while reliability got worse. We're building miget.com partly because of that: flat pricing for unlimited apps, so you don't get nickel-and-dimed as you scale out. Starts at $5/mo for hobby projects, free tier for trying it out.
Not trying to pitch - just saying there are options now that didn't exist when Heroku was the only game in town. The PaaS space is healthier for it.
