European alternatives to Heroku
Heroku was one of the original platform-as-a-service offerings and has been owned by Salesforce since 2010. It runs on AWS in the United States, and recent pricing changes have pushed many teams to look elsewhere. The European alternatives below — including Clever Cloud, Scalingo and Platform.sh EU — offer Git-push deployments, managed databases and autoscaling from EU data centres.

Why migrate away from Heroku?
Heroku is operated by Salesforce, a US-controlled provider subject to the US Cloud Act and FISA Section 702. For European organisations handling personal, commercial or public-sector data, that creates an ongoing GDPR transfer risk. The alternatives above are headquartered in the EU or Switzerland, store data within European jurisdiction and remove that exposure.
