This is just an ad for their own service. Heroku is doing fine. They provide exactly what they advertise, and the service has been rock solid for over a decade. Sure it doesn't fit everyone's use cases, but it doesn't need to.

Ultimately platform-as-a-service has always been a dead end. Companies either want more control over the infrastructure (so use plain VMs or Kubernetes), or want to forget about servers entirely (opting for services like Lambda and now edge computing). Everything in the middle (Elastic Beanstalk, App Engine, Heroku) has been stagnant for a long time now.

Taking over two weeks to fix their GH integration is not "doing fine.". I've been a huge Heroku booster for years, but you can't ignore this. The GH breakage is a huge red flag.
