Give it time, apparently ;)

If you're like me and are really into ease of use, I really endorse Digital Ocean. People don't seem to use it in Big Important Companies, but I never had a problem with anything I hosted there when I was my last, medium-sized company, and everything was so easy to manage in the GUI without having to learn proprietary APIs and whole stacks of infrastructure-as-code stuff like in AWS land.

DO is also good and less restrictive for a new user than aws (I.e. getting more resources). I remember having to beg to get more than 1(or 2) servers at aws as a new user.

I haven't looked recently but does DO have the heroku click to add resources and git push to deploy offerings?

I think this product is the closest: https://www.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform
