I use both Heroku and Netlify.

Heroku for microservices with Node.js/Express.

Netlify to host my static website built with Jekyll.

That seems like a logical split between the two platforms, I've been really enjoying how easy Heruko makes getting an express server up and running 🚀

Yes, that's the reason I chose Heroku over spinning up a DO droplet and setting everything up for such a small service.

Since deployments to Heroku happen through Git, I don't need to set up and maintain tons of CD pipelines for my microservices. 😁
