Amazon EC2 vs Heroku vs Oracle Cloud

Users mostly praise Amazon EC2 for low cost, especially with spot instances or reserved capacity, and for steady uptime on long-running servers.

Users like Heroku for easy, quick deploys and for spinning up apps and test environments with little fuss.

Generous free tier for small servers, but free instances can be hard to get or vanish unannounced.
