Interesting list! When I sorted the lesser known brands using global Alexa ranking, following came on top (for whatever it's worth):

fleek.co
render.com
railway.app
fly.io
platform.sh

This is important because it takes a lot of effort for even a student/hobby project to build and configure their app, have a testing and deployment strategy, etc. and if the platform suddenly pulls the plug (like Heroku did), they are left in the dark and on a limb. I know it's easy to pontificate that just fork the money and pay up for a regular server but all of us aren't so rich, especially the students and freelancers.
