Heroku: planning & defense
- Contract strategy
- Stay month-to-month since historical price adjustments manifest as sudden plan deprecations and tier replacements rather than straightforward percentage increases on existing plans.
- Architecture defense
- Keep deployment configurations completely portable using containerization standards and avoid proprietary buildpacks or addons so migration off the platform remains straightforward.
Netlify: planning & defense
- Contract strategy
- Stay month-to-month since Netlify frequently restructures plans and historically shifts between flat rates and per-seat pricing.
- Architecture defense
- Keep build configurations, routing rules, and environment variables portable using standard open-source static site generators to enable easy migration to rival hosts.
