🆚 Heroku vs. Render

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.

Render is a unified cloud platform for building and running applications and websites with a global CDN, private networks, and automatic deployments from Git.

It provides managed services including Web Services, Static Sites, and Background Workers, fully managed PostgreSQL databases, key-value Redis-compatible instances, and edge caching.
