I agree that Heroku is simple, but extremely expensive. We save thousands of dollars per month by using 10 bare servers directly on DigitalOcean: it's reliable but you need good DevOps.
Now I am building Cuber and we plan to move to it: github.com/cuber-cloud/cuber-gem It makes the deployment of apps on Kubernetes extremely simple and you can choose any cloud provider.
Other projects related to your idea are Dokku, Kuby (for Ruby), Coolify and probably many others (?).

Best of luck Marco. Have to make cloud a lot more user friendly.
We're trying our best and have gained amazing feedback so far.
