What a jewel Heroku has been. I've seen so many deployment paradigms and PaaS equivalents since.
Some alternatives eventually approximated the simplicity and elegance, but it's wild how convoluted and unwieldy deployment platforms and systems still are for even the most simple stacks.
Sad for the good people who made Heroku work for years and for folks (like me) who still rely on it.

The man who both introduced me to and got me addicted to The Monster Mash by playing it from his room for what felt like 12 hours will always have a special place in my heart.
Murdering hundreds of innocent girls in cold blood to avoid going down for sex trafficking more innocent girls for decades, sexually assaulting countless women, and demonstrably raping at least several.
And the only thing that will make the demented wannabe-king shit his pants (on purpose) is the price of dead dinosaur juice.
