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.

Vercel is a cloud platform for deploying and hosting websites, applications, and serverless functions.

It offers Git-connected automatic deployments, preview URLs for every code change, automatic HTTPS, DDoS protection, incremental static regeneration, and built-in integrations with modern frameworks such as Next.js, SvelteKit, and React.
