Google App Engine was ahead of its time, but it's still quite a successful product. I think it didn't get traction back then because it was too different from the status quo for developers to want to invest in it. The other thing is vendor lock-in and costs. If you're all in on Heroku (or AWS or GCP or...) you have no recourse if they decide to raise prices on you. Even though that's never really happened other than the ipv4 AWS thing for developers, (ie DocuSign doesn't count) the mere possibility that you could get hosed by your vendor scared enough people off that it failed to get the traction it deserved, imo. |
