About

Heroku is a platform as a service (PaaS) that enables developers to build, run, and operate applications entirely in the cloud.

Upsun (formerly Platform.sh) is a container-based Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that enables developers to build, iterate, and deploy applications using Git-native workflows with fully managed infrastructure.

It supports instant environment cloning, multi-cloud deployment across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, automatic scaling with per-container resource control, built-in observability, a Git-based API and CLI, and enterprise-grade compliance including SOC 2 and PCI DSS.
