AWS has Elastic Beanstalk, which is a Heroku competitor.


Sort of. They're still targeted at different users, though.

Heroku is for individual developers to directly develop their app in terms of.

AWS, meanwhile, is mostly for enterprises: it's a "virtual datacenter" for your (much-reduced) ops team to manage in place of a real datacenter. In that sense, Elastic Beanstalk is not a service that AWS provides developers—it's a service that AWS provides your ops team to provide to in turn provide to your developers.


AWS' RDS offer also directly competes with heroku's Postgres packages
