Heroku hosting for a volunteer site

[Tal Einat]

Hey,

I'm volunteering to help a website to help match those with needs with those wanting to help during the current war.

We're building from scratch and need to move very quickly. I'm considering Heroku for hosting to make deployment and infra super-simple to do with a small volunteer team.

Does this sound like a reasonable choice to you guys? Any other suggestions?

Yes, Heroku is a reasonable choice.

Personally I prefer GAE. Zero ops and most of the tools (users, database...) already there. You just write web handlers

Heroku is reasonable.

If you're Django-based, lately I've heard a lot about https://fly.io,
which has a free tier (Heroku no longer does). Haven't had a chance to
try them myself yet.

Heroku++

I've been using Heroku for over a decade and I highly recommend it, even (especially?) nowadays.

You get immediate deployment at a very low cost - a standard web app today on basic tiers (web, worker, DB, cache) would cost you ~$30 if you can handle that.

The savings in zero "devops" time makes it well worth it IMO.

I tried fly.io recently but they still haven't managed to reach the level of developer effectiveness I've seen on Heroku, I wish they would be able to get there some day.

One more thing to consider, if you need very customize build installations (e.g for scraping) you probably don't need heroku python buildpacks but work with a custom container defined in the heroku.yml, I have code examples for that if you need it
