Heroku entered sustaining mode in February 2026 with no new features and no new Enterprise contracts. A read across the 2026 exit guides maps Render, Railway, Fly.io, and self-hosting to the Heroku workload each fits, plus the priced comparison none of them shows: a typical 190-dollar-a-month dyno topology against metered rivals and a flat-rate box.

Railway Patches Your Postgres When a CVE Lands — What Vendor-Side Patching Costs vs. Patching It Yourself
Railway now patches your Postgres when a CVE lands — but the restart still happens on their schedule, not yours. A side-by-side runbook comparison with patching Postgres you own via CloudNativePG, worked through the 28-CVE August 2026 release, with a verdict for three tenant profiles.
Render Renamed Every Compute Plan to 2c-4g Style IDs: An IaC Compatibility Checklist Before You Touch Anything
Render's August 26 rename turned Pro Plus into 4c-8g and promised no action required. The grep commands that inventory every plan reference, the three spellings of each plan, the Workflows flex gotcha, and a six-step checklist that proves an IaC fleet is clean.
Render's Free PostgreSQL Expires After 30 Days: The Gotcha That Turns a Free-Tier Deploy Into a Migration Deadline
Render's free web services are free forever, but free Postgres expires 30 days after creation and is deleted two weeks later. Here is what day 31 costs: staying on Render versus migrating to a flat-rate box, priced over 12 months.
Fixed vs. Metered: What a 4-Service Stack Really Costs on Sevalla vs Railway
The same four-service stack costs $69/month on both Sevalla and Railway — until workloads turn bursty or spiky. A worked three-scenario comparison with the math, plus the flat-rate Hetzner number that collapses both bills.
