Heroku
Heroku is a United States platform, owned by Salesforce since 2010, that popularised the git-push deployment model. It removed its free tier in November 2022, which triggered the migration wave that much of this category's search demand still reflects. It remains a capable platform with a mature add-on marketplace at a higher price point than newer competitors.
