A detailed comparison of five Heroku alternatives — Railway, Render, Fly.io, Vercel, and DigitalOcean App Platform — covering deployment models, scaling approaches, pricing structures, persistent storage, multi-region support, CI/CD capabilities, and developer tooling. Key Heroku limitations highlighted include no persistent storage, no native multi-region support, expensive instance-based pricing, and no built-in health checks. Railway is positioned as the top alternative with usage-based pricing, automatic vertical scaling, native multi-region support, and one-click database deployments. The post also includes a brief migration guide for moving from Heroku to Railway.
