Why Apache HTTP Server lasted

  • It named the dominant server of the first web, and shared hosting never fully left.
  • The Foundation is bigger than the daemon. That institution keeps the lights on.

Why Heroku lasted

  • git push heroku main taught a generation what PaaS felt like. That memory still sells the brand.
  • Salesforce ownership kept it alive as a product line after the golden age ended.
