I asked about this too. Everyone meme'ing these alt platforms essentially assumes they are safer than Heroku by virtue of the fact that Heroku had a pretty severe incident. I haven't actually seen these platforms prove that they're safer than Heroku, they could be as bad or worse in security.

I wouldn't move off of Heroku because of the incident. I would move off of them because of their response to the incident.

They plainly lied. Responses take weeks and are very incomplete. They have so few people they can't possibly run a secure, stable system anymore. They don't have a plan or backing from sfdc to get back to a solid foundation.

I can't speak to competitors but I can say with certainty that Heroku is simply not an option for you anymore. Whether that means you use another PaaS or fire up an EC2 instance yourself you must move away at this point.
