Is Heroku considered Serverless? Or is it still more like Digital Ocean (which I consider to be more like #2)?

Heroku is more like containers in this list. Your app is packaged up, runs on as many machines as needed, but you pay while it is running even if idle.

As soon as the idle state is abstracted away, then it's serverless.
