It depends what you're looking for, but I'll throw one out:

If you're looking for something on the simple side like Heroku, but is a bit cheaper, a bit more flexible, and generally rethinking some of the stuff that Heroku might do better if it wasn't locked in to its old UX: render.com.

Downside: Render isn't (yet?) as feature rich as it probably needs to be to truly offer some of the convenience of a "platform as a service". Some things are just not thoroughly supported yet, even if they are technically a feature. And there's a trust factor that needs to be established for any newish infra service. But overall, it is a very promising service for a more convenient option than pure cloud infra.
