Heroku for the 2026 stack.
Push to deploy. Free Postgres. Free Redis. Free observability. Run a real SaaS on a real cloud for the price of a coffee subscription, then scale up the same tiers as revenue lands.
From side project to real revenue.
Three honest stages. Same platform, same primitives, no migration. The bill grows with usage, not with arbitrary feature gates.

Everything else is included.
Twelve features other platforms charge separately for. Live when your project goes live. Every plan, every project, no upgrade required.
Resize as you grow. No migration.
The same platform takes you from prototype to production. Click to bump a tier, zero-downtime. No replatforming, no data export, no procurement call.
$5 free. Run a real SaaS for the price of coffee.
Sign up, get $5 in starter credit. The Nano compute tier costs $5 a month, so the first month runs on the house. Free Postgres and Redis sit underneath, included on every account.
Stop paying the DevOps tax.
Push code, get a URL, watch the bill stay tiny while you find product-market fit.
