fly.io is promising in the direct competitor space

Dokku is a good alternative for running herokuish on a single server with lots of control.

Dokku Maintainer here.

Dokku also supports Dockerfiles, Docker Images, Tarballs (similar to heroku slugs), and Cloud Native Buildpacks. I'm also actively working on AWS Lambda support[1] (both for simple usage without much config as well as SAM-based usage) and investigating Replicate's Cog[2] and Railways Nixpacks[3] functionalities for building apps.

There are quite a few options in the OSS space (as well as Commercial offerings from new startups and popular incumbents). It's an interesting space to be in, and its always fun to see how new offerings innovate on existing solutions.
