Rock8Cloud vs Heroku
Heroku stopped shipping. We didn't.
In 2026 Salesforce moved Heroku into maintenance mode - no free tier, sleeping dynos, a paid add-on for every database. Rock8Cloud is the 2026 Heroku alternative that's still shipping. Push your repo and get a live URL, with Postgres and Redis one click away. 30 days free, no card.
One platform. Push your repo - app, Postgres, Redis, and object storage deploy together.
git push
Same push-to-deploy.A platform that's still moving.
Heroku made git-push deploys famous, then stopped investing. Rock8Cloud keeps the simplicity and keeps shipping, with AI code review, changelogs, and sandbox agents included, not an add-on.
Heroku pricing and product status as of 2026: Eco $5/mo (sleeps after 30 min), Basic $7/mo, Standard $25-50/mo (pricing). No free tier since 2022 (low-cost plans). Maintenance mode announced February 2026 (An Update on Heroku).
Migrating off Heroku?It's mostly a git push.
Your app already runs in a container or buildpack. Point Rock8Cloud at the repo, bring your config vars, and import your database. Most apps are live the same afternoon.
Bring your Dockerfile
If your app builds from a Dockerfile, it deploys as-is. No Dockerfile? Rock8Cloud builds the image from your repo.
Provision your database
Spin up a managed Postgres in one click and point your app at it. A Redis-compatible cache comes the same way.
Move your config vars
Copy your Heroku config vars into the service environment. They become available on the next deploy.
Keep your domain
Point your custom domain at the new service when you are ready to cut over. No rush, no downtime.
Moving off Heroku? We migrate you for free.
Our engineers move your services to Rock8Cloud with you - apps, databases, environment variables and domains. It costs nothing and there is no commitment. Tell us what you run and we bring it over together.
Follow the steps yourself, or hand the whole thing to your AI agent below. Either path, ourdeploy guidesanddocswalk you through it.
Migrate from inside your AI agent.
Rock8Cloud speaks MCP. Point your agent at it and it does the whole move - provisions Postgres and Redis, sets your config, and ships your app. That same agent reviews every PR and builds tasks in sandboxes once you're moved over. You stay in your editor, the agent does the wiring.
Leave maintenance mode behind.Use a platform that cares.
Start free for 30 days, no credit card. Flat pricing, managed databases, and a platform that keeps improving.
