They got painfully expensive and then acquired. I still remember the arguments with clients and finally went all in AWS ECS, which is still quite pricey but clients seem to complain less about the Amazon bill then they did about Heroku.

Give Cloud Run a try if you haven't. It's basically serverless done right.
