In a world of Google Cloud Run, which builds your app from a code base via build packs, streams logs, scales to zero and autoscales (regardless of container size/price), provides SLI/SLO monitoring and definition via point and click, integrates to pull requests on GitHub, directly connects to databases on GCP… the list goes on.

Why would you bother with Heroku?

I'm by no means an entrepreneur but I would literally never trust any of my services to Google. Not even email. This is the most evil, profit-centric company that has virtually no user support, nor a care in the world for you. They shittify every single product at some point too. Anything goes down, you're f*led without any means of getting help from a human. Someone someday in the past used the same ip as you and did something bad that got them banned? Say goodbye to your company's Play Store account. I've seen it happen for our client in the past. Zero communications. Google is the reason I moved away from Android App development.
I would say, that in the world of cloud native, it boils down to whom gives less surprise bills, and actually provides humans to talk to when support issues arise.

GCP isn't well seen in that regard.

AFAIK .NET has no first-class support on Google Cloud Run.
