Heroku can't be pardoned?

Question

Heroku

Dear friends. Dear pythonists. Dear bots.

After a few hours of dancing with a tambourine around the heroku, I finally deployed the whole thing. And I don’t understand, am I stupid or the sleigh doesn’t go ? Here, in essence, there are two branches: a VPS server for a bot or a heroku. So that's the question then...

Why do I need to use heroku when there is an option to use a VPS server that has both a file system and a bash terminal, and in this terminal I can do whatever I want, and even interface with file system? To be honest, I don’t understand at all what the charm of a heroku is when there is a dedicated VPS server.

PS Yes, I know that you can run a bot on Heroku at a free rate and play tricks and make sure that after 30 minutes it does not fall asleep, but in this matter, this is not an argument.
PPS answers a la well, don't like it, don't use it, they immediately go to the forest.
PPPS, I assume that it is really worth using a regular server for testing, and already uploading an application to Heroku exclusively for exploitation, but why can't such an application be exploited on a regular server?

Answer 1

Heroku - is it worth it?

Answer 2

what is the beauty of heroku when there is a dedicated VPS server.

As in any managed service (AWS RDS, ELB, etc.; managed ELK, managed K8S) - paying a little loss of configuration flexibility, we get:
- scalability
- high availability
- backups
- monitoring
- and overall reduction in support costs .
