Ruby
The Heroku experience you missed, running on Kubernetes. Deploy standard Rails apps with git push and avoid mandatory daily restarts.
The migration path from Heroku to Gigalixir is nearly invisible. You use the same buildpacks, the same Procfiles, and the same git-based workflow. We provide the production stability of Kubernetes without forcing you to write YAML manifests or manage cluster upgrades.
- Git Push Workflow: We automatically detect your Ruby version, install gems, and compile the asset pipeline. No Dockerfile maintenance or CI configuration required.
- No Daily Restarts: Unlike Heroku, we do not cycle your dynos every 24 hours. Your caches stay warm, and long-running jobs finish without interruption.
- Direct PostgreSQL Networking: Connect directly to your database without PgBouncer. Standard ActiveRecord configurations work out of the box, preserving transaction handling and prepared statements.
- No Sleeping Instances: Your app stays online 24/7, even on the free tier, eliminating the 30-second cold start penalty for your users.
