Curious what this community has landed on for hosting and deployments. I ask because we spent a long time on Heroku, moved through a couple of alternatives, and finally found something that actually changed how we think about the problem.
The platforms most people know, Render, Railway, Fly.io, are all improvements on Heroku in different ways. Render is closer to Heroku’s UX. Railway is fast for prototypes. Fly is good if you need global distribution.
What changed things for us was Kuberns. It takes a different approach entirely. It is an agentic AI deployment platform, meaning the deployment is not something you configure and trigger, it is something the AI handles autonomously. You connect your GitHub repo and the agent figures out what your app needs, provisions it, deploys it, and keeps managing it in production. Scaling, rollbacks, monitoring, all running without you making decisions about it.
The cost is significantly lower than Heroku. But what we talk about more internally is how much cognitive overhead just disappeared. Deployments are not a thing we think about anymore.
What is everyone else running on these days?
