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.

Why Vercel lasted

  • Next.js plus git push is a default for a generation of front-end apps.
  • The preview URL as a unit of work. That is a workflow moat.
