Heroku Alternative: app.nz
Heroku is a PaaS with git-driven deploys, dynos, add-ons, and logs. app.nz provides agents, hosting, deploys, model routing, and GPU infrastructure.
Heroku Alternative: app.nz
Heroku is a PaaS with git-driven deploys, dynos, add-ons, and logs. See Heroku.
Where Heroku is strong
- App-centric deploy model.
- Add-on ecosystem and operational defaults.
- Simpler than managing raw infrastructure.
Where app.nz is different
app.nz covers:
- cloud coding agents that work on repos and return durable diffs
- static sites, server deploys, private container builds, domains, logs, queues, and secrets
- one OpenAI-compatible gateway for text, image, video, audio, embeddings, search, and 3D
- scale-to-zero GPU hosting for Cog and Comfy workloads
- one credit balance and API surface across the product
app.nz hosts the app, runs agents on the repo, routes model calls, and serves GPU endpoints.
Choose Heroku when
Choose Heroku for a classic PaaS running web processes, workers, and add-ons.
Choose app.nz when
app.nz runs the whole loop on one account: an agent edits code, the build deploys, model calls go through the gateway, and GPU endpoints run on demand.
Migration path
Containerize the app or deploy static output, then move model calls to the app.nz gateway and background work to app.nz queues.
Bottom line
app.nz hosts the app, routes the models, and runs the GPU or worker infrastructure behind them.
