#heroku — Public Fediverse posts

It's absolutely mindblowing what's possible today when you decide to self host your services, instead of trusting the big companies to do it.
When I got into #Django development some years ago, I soon discovered how nice and easy it was to host my projects on #Heroku. The CLI was nice and simple, there was no need to hand-roll complex config files, and I could even hook up GitHub so a push to main would automatically trigger a new Heroku deployment. It was so smooth and seamless, Heroku even had a free tier for small projects at the time so this was perfect.
Well, today Heroku is essentially on life support, the platform still exists and does what it always has done, but it's no longer being actively developed. So, for me this meant I'd have to find a good alternative eventually, and it looks like I've just discovered the right fit, #Dockhand.
This is a really nice web UI for managing Docker Compose stacks, and the really awesome thing about it is it totally supports Git deployments and authenticated web hooks so GitHub or other platforms can ping Dockhand when a new push has occurred. What's really neat also is Dockhand’s extensive support for push notifications, so I can set up notifications for when a deployment succeeds or fails, when any of my other containers have updates available, when a container is experiencing an issue, etc. Overall this seems really stable as far as I can tell, and new deployments happen much, much faster compared to Heroku. I’ll have to run some more tests to be completely sure, but so far this looks really, really solid and I’m extremely happy with this new setup.
