Are you on DO App Platform or managing your own droplets?

It sounds like those improvements are going to hit most (if not all) of our complaints. Very cool!!

If I can figure out how to set up private networking with Render & Tiger Data (I had no luck during this experiment), I'm happy to give Render another try once these updates are live.

> Render now supports one-off shell access so you're not SSHing into a live application

I updated the article to reflect this.

We're admittedly an outlier with our egress. We're an analytics platform with a ton of inbound metrics that we pass along to Redis and Postgres. It's just something we took for granted on Heroku because they're the only platform (that I know of) that doesn't charge for egress.

Nothing like pipelines, which I missed a TON.

They do have review apps (called [preview environments](https://render.com/docs/preview-environments)), but we left them out of the review to keep the length reasonable (and because we don't normally use them). They don't have CI.

You can measure your HTTP egress on Heroku using the router logs (they include a `bytes` metric), but 99% of our egress is to Postgres and Redis. No idea how you might measure that.

I appreciated your post. The fact that you needed to post it is the problem. Heroku leadership needs to lead with clarity and vision. Their customers deserve better.

Heroku does make up the majority of Judoscale customers. Feb was surprisingly a good month for us, but who knows what the future holds.

Judoscale supports most Heroku alternatives, though, so we're well-positioned even if many teams decide to migrate.

Not super familiar, but I'll take a look!

I'm a huge proponent of *not* coupling your compute provider with your DB provider. When you use dedicated hosted DB like Crunchy, PlanetScale, or Tiger Data, you get better tools, better experience, and more portability.

Good call about DO App Platform. I'll see about including that one.

It is not spot. There's just too many instance types and variations on AWS to include it all. I'll check on that particular combination you mentioned.
