Overall Satisfaction with Heroku
Our company used Heroku in order to host the backend of our application. Due to rapid prototyping and creation of a MVP, we needed a solution that was quick to deploy and easy to set up. We resorted to Heroku because of its simplicity in getting our backend up and running. We were able to set up our database on MongoDB with ease by using the MongoLab add-on within Heroku.
- Easy to deploy.
- No need to manage infrastructure on your own.
- Lots of third party add-ons.
- There are no regional dependencies that you can control unlike AWS.
- Locked into their platform.
- No easy way to migrate to a different platform.
- Increased productivity
- Saves time
- No control over regions of instances
- Parse, AWS and Azure
When our team needs to deploy an application quickly, we generally choose Heroku because of the vast add-ons and features they include. It's truly a great platform if you don't have time to setup your own instances in AWS.
