Heroku is a platform that allows you to deploy your apps and not worry about the infrastructure thus giving you time to focus on writing awesome features for your app. If you use a VPS such as Linode, you will have to decide which OS to use, installing software or libraries so that your app can run successfully e.g. Nodejs, Git, Docker and so many more. Basically, with a VPS you will have to handle a lot and think about your infrastructure while you still have to build features for your app.
