Interesting to see more competitors to Heroku popup. Kind of amazing how the big cloud providers still haven't solved this problem.

Heroku still has one of the easiest setups of anyone on the market, and they've just been coasting in recent years. Poor container support, auto-scaling is naive, random routing (see rap genius), no health checks, pricey, etc.

Previously Deis built a Heroku like service on top of Kubernetes, but they got acquired by Microsoft, and the product has since atrophied.

Convox[0] seems similar to Qovery, with the added ability of self-hosting (UI is closed source though).

I think Qovery not having a UI is a deal breaking for many. Heroku's CLI, UI, and API is a killer combo.

Clever Cloud[0] is a PaaS, has an API, UI and CLI as well. While it's not open source, we do however open a lot of things on our Github[1].
