A question that always comes up when I see these "Heroku-like" replacements on top of AWS/GCP/Azure is who is the target user?
A couple years ago, you would have platform teams helping developers launch their stuff. Since then, AWS has tried to make things easier through services like App Runner. Nowadays, if you don't want to manage the instances yourself, you just use a managed service. Platform teams are essentially dead.
It's not 2016 anymore and developers should know how their code runs. Trying to "protect" them from infrastructure only hinders their pace long term.
