nesly vs Heroku

Heroku defined the modern PaaS; `git push heroku main` is the sentence the whole category descends from.

Both platforms deploy your code from a push or a command and hand back a live URL. The differences below are the ones that actually decide the choice — and where Heroku is simply ahead, this page says so.

Where nesly is different

• Your data lives in Türkiye (İstanbul) and a data processing addendum is part of the terms — for teams whose users, regulators or contracts expect exactly that.
• Pricing is in Turkish lira, with a 30-day trial — no currency risk on a card statement.
• Managed SQL Server next to PostgreSQL — the .NET shop's stack works as-is, with ConnectionStrings__Default injected.
• Built to be operated by AI agents: the CLI is also an MCP server, every command speaks --json with stable exit codes, and `nesly diagnose` names the failure and its fix instead of handing an agent raw logs.
• Every workload runs in a gVisor sandbox behind an allowlist network policy, and every image is scanned on push — documented on the security page together with what we do not claim.
• The whole product is operable from the terminal: deploys, databases, backups, domains, usage, data export, account closure.

What Heroku has that we do not, today

• Two decades of operational maturity and an add-on marketplace covering nearly everything.
• A buildpack ecosystem shaped by years of edge cases.
• Deep PostgreSQL tooling built over many years.

We would rather you read this here than discover it after migrating. The security page keeps the same rule about our own claims.

How to decide

Choose Heroku when its add-on ecosystem or your team's existing Heroku muscle memory carries real weight.

Choose nesly for lira pricing and Turkish data location, a sandboxed runtime documented on a security page that also says what it does not claim, and an agent-first CLI a machine can drive as easily as a person.

Trying it costs two commands: start from a template or follow get started. Plans and allowances: pricing.
