Render is more of the successor IMO. Fly is a bit of a wildcard — they are bleeding edge, certainly, but they seem to shy away from focusing on implementation of some of the “boring” but extremely useful features present in most managed services (e.g., scaling volumes for Postgres)

We're not shying away from "boring" stuff at all. We just have a small team with bigger priorities that's spread too thin. There's a million things like resizable volumes we need to ship and we're aggressively hiring to get them done.
Are the job listings on your site the source of truth, or are there other listings out there? I’ve been keeping my eye out for a senior full stack role but no luck yet.
There's no one "successor to Heroku". The successor to Heroku is a collection of different companies that work well together. What's important is the Heroku idea of what an application is, as a developer-first prospect rather than an ops-first prospect like Kubernetes running on a cloud platform.
