The Heroku Exit Playbook's Missing Half: Pipelines and Review Apps on Machines You Own
The Heroku exit playbook moved apps, add-ons, and data — but release process stayed behind. A concrete mapping of Pipelines promotion and Review Apps onto Kargo, GitHub Actions environments, and per-PR namespaces, with the honest cost of replicating automatic per-PR databases.
Heroku, Seven Months Into Sustaining Mode: Where the Leavers Went, and the Fourth Option the Guides Never Priced
Seven months after Heroku's sustaining-mode announcement, the 2026 guides route every leaver to Render, Railway, or Fly.io. We audit four guides' routing consensus, triangulate where teams actually landed, and price the row they all skip: the same dyno-hours as utilization on one flat box.

Railway's Fifth Outage Since November: What the July 2 US East Failure Reveals About Multi-Tenant PaaS Blast Radius
Railway's July 2 US East outage — twenty minutes with no internet route, storage at a third of speed, 20,000 blackholed private links — was its fifth major incident since November. What the cascade reveals about shared fate on multi-tenant platforms, and how to evaluate a host by outage rate instead of postmortems.
Railway vs Render vs Fly.io for Solo Devs: What the 'Cheapest' Verdicts Miss About the Fourth Option
DevToolPicks' 2026 guide keys its cheapest-PaaS verdict to your architecture — Railway for low-traffic apps, Render for steady ones, Fly.io for idle ones. Recomputing all three winners against the same app on a flat-rate Hetzner box shows cheapest was never about architecture.
One Commit, 15 Files, $3 Saved: What a Real Railway-to-Fly.io Migration Actually Costs
When its $5 trial credit ran out, a one-maintainer project moved from Railway to Fly.io in a single 15-file commit. The itemized bill — config rewrite, secrets-model rethink, docs rewrite — shows why the exit terms matter more than the price.
