Track: Cloud Technology
Abstract
Kubernetes won the containers orchestration war. But has it made deploying your apps easier?
Let's explore some of Kubernetes extensive app developer tooling, but mainly what the PaaS space looks like in 2024; 17 years after Heroku made it popular.
Is Heroku still around? What about Cloud Foundry?
And what are those new comers (fly.io, repl.it) worth?
Did the Cloud giants replace them all?
