Heroku is a legacy Platform-as-a-Service provider.
It offers a great developer experience, but this simplicity comes at its cost - less control, less flexibility, and very high infrastructure costs.
Stacktape is a Platform-as-a-Service 2.0 that runs in your own AWS account. It provides the simplicity of a PaaS 1.0 provider, while being much more flexible, powerful & cost-efficient at the same time.
