About

Heroku is a cloud platform as a service (PaaS) that enables developers to build, run, and scale web applications without managing underlying infrastructure.

It provides isolated containers called Dynos, which are based on LXC (older Cedar generation) and Kubernetes (new Fir generation), and managed data services including Postgres, Key-Value Store, and Apache Kafka.

Lagoon is an open-source application delivery platform for Kubernetes that automates the deployment and management of containerized applications.

It provides Git-based workflows with automatic environment creation for branches and pull requests, supports Docker and Kubernetes-native deployments, includes centralized logging and monitoring, and integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, OpenShift, and cloud infrastructure providers.
