I'm not the parent commentator but here is my 2 cents and questions.

Note: I'm currently experimenting with Heroku for a side project app and I've used AWS before. I'm a "cloud computing" newbie when it comes to running a web setup in the cloud.

I'm a developer currently using a lot of languages like python, c++, php, coffee script, & java. I've never understood "cloud computing" and why everyone wants to be on it. It's always been a disaster to setup a php application (for me personally). AWS was a pain in the ass to get phpMyAdmin setup and then they over billed us while on the free tier and we quit and went back to standard web server.

I've briefly looked into Heroku and getting it running with php and I understand the basic git push to Heroku "workflow". However, I quickly became lost once I started looking into getting phpMyAdmin on Heroku. I couldn't find documentation or videos on youtube. Am I just to comfortable with phpMyAdmin in my little webserver? Does Heroku and cloud computing offer better tools / different tools for phpMyAdmin? I haven't seen a good explanation for AWS or Heroku on how to setup a webserver from start to finish to mimic a traditional simple web server.

TLDR; I get frustrated trying to setup cloud computing for simple projects when non technical people want to "be in the cloud".
