Alternatives
Heroku alternatives
Heroku is push Git, get a running app — a managed cloud for developers. It is a poor fit if you only need a free one-off and will not stay on a plan. Here are 5 tools on Toolora that do a similar job, 3 of them free or with a free tier, and what each one does differently.

Deploy web services, Postgres, and cron jobs from a git repo
Instead of Heroku: Free to start, where Heroku is paid.
