The best thing I like about Heroku is its ability to handle any kind of application, you can install any backend, frontend app with this and it works like charm. Also, the added advantage is its free tier, where you can run an app for free with a Dyno. you can also install multiple other apps for free, but they will stop working once they are idle.

Most people dislike the Heroku app sleeping policy as if your app doesn't get traffic for some time, they put it to sleep affecting performance. Also pricing is one factor, to look for if you compare it with AWS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Starts off cheap but becomes very expensive to scale up as a small business Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is one of the best cloud-based free and paid web hosting for new developers and startups. It has support for many popular languages like Python, Ruby, Node Js, etc. and has an easy deployment, and also has a command-line interface ( CLI ) for the deployment of your web apps in an easy way.

For free users, it has a limited database and can be a little expensive for large applications. The website may be down for the number of times in a year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I personally thought it was a little odd that a credit card has to be provided to upgrade an account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Heroku is one of the easiest platforms where we can deploy our apps, websites for completely free. It supports codes of many languages like Python, C, Node, Ruby, Java, etc. Heroku supports GitHub integration. It is a paradise for hobbyists where we can build, run, and scale for free. However, paid services are also available if it needs more load handling and extra features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Heroku free Dyno resets every one hour. You need to upgrade to a paid plan for more Dyno hours. Also, most of the Heroku free apps will stop by the 20th of the month. But it can be bypassed if you add a credit card for verification purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how simple is deploying an application on Heroku is. I mostly use Heroku when developing any projects because I know that I don't need to worry about the deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing. Heroku price for each ad-ons separate and that is a negative point from my side. If Heroku can somehow work on their pricing more to provide more benefits to small businesses, that would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The server logs is a bit laggy. I wish there was a better way to view the logs as they come in as well as log history. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
