Heroku is one of the best platforms for cloud services. It is known because of its dedicate servers and PaaS services but like the other platforms, it also has some limitations. That’s why I am going to discuss a few alternatives to Heroku here. Yes, you can go with these options if you are not happy with Heroku services.
Here we go:
1. Back4App
If you are looking for an easy to use platform with built-in features, real-time databases and REST & GraphQL APIs, then you should pick Back4App as an alternate to Heroku. Luckily, this platform also offers free-tier with paid services.
2. Elastic Beanstalk (AWS)
Elastic Beanstalk (AWS) is also one of the best PaaS platforms. Around 27% of computer software companies and 8% information technology sector is using this cloud service. It provides many features like easy interface, flexibility and CloudWatch. Mainly, you would like its security benefits. Indeed, it could be an ideal alternative to Heroku.
3. Google App Engine
Another PaaS provider that you should try is Google App Engine. You can build Java, Python and PHP applications with Google App Engine with great ease. Although it could be used as an alternative but unluckily, it doesn’t offer a NoSQL database and geographical support like Heroku and Amazon AWS.
4. Firebase
No doubt, Firebase is also another great cloud computing platform that programmers can use to host their mobile or web application. So, if you are looking for real-time databases, free-tier, cloud hosting services and automatic notifications, then you can surely choose Firebase over Heroku.
