Hey, #Django devs who deploy (or used to deploy) stuff to #Heroku — are you looking at moving to some other #PaaS? If so, where to? Is there a standard, boring, dependable option that folks are gravitating toward?

@craiga wondering too! Fly looks attractive but I have minimal experience…

@adamchainz @craiga As @tut_tuuut said, there is https://scalingo.com. They use forks of Heroku buildpacks (eg. the Python one https://github.com/Scalingo/python-buildpack) so very familiar.

https://beta.gouv.fr/en/ #Django projects mostly deploy there or on https://www.clever.cloud (not based on Heroku buildpacks). Both have very reactive customer service.

@craiga I have had a good experience using render.com for production sites some as Docker containers and some as regular Django apps.

@craiga It's a bit more hands-on to set up, but I'm happy with Coolify for deploying to Hetzner and previously to Digital Ocean. Coolify can deploy Docker, Compose, build packs, and might have some other options. It feels like a much better Heroku experience, but you still have to pick your hosting provider. It took the pain out of moving from DO to Hetzner.
