I used it for a while when starting out with running web apps. It's good for beginners because it abstracts the server management aspect so you only have to worry about your app code. But this means it's more expensive than running your own vps (virtual private server). You can only run one app per heroku instance, so it's $7 per month just for one app. Whereas a vps like lunanode (payable in bitcoin) is only $3.5 per month for a basic instance in which you can run multiple apps (thanks to
Ben Arc (nprofile…sqks) for the tip) and do anything you want. Heroku also don't give you persistent storage or memory, they cycle the instance every 24hrs or so. This means you have to pay extra when you want to do things like crons (scheduled tasks) and persist data. Setting up a vps isn't really that difficult, duckduckgo ai helped me a lot. Happy to give any pointers you need 👍
