Build, deploy, and scale apps quickly using a simple, fully managed solution. Deploy code by simply pointing to a GitHub repo and let App Platform do the heavy lifting of managing the infrastructure, app runtimes and dependencies.

This would be much better if the pricing for cheapest production ready instance wasn't higher then herokus.

I wanted to like it, but it is not usable in its current form.
Problems:
- Can't clear build cache. I was using Prisma as my orm and needed to generate the module on schema changes. App platform used the old module that was generated from the old schema. Without a way to clear the cache I was unable to run my app.
- Builds take forever. Next js build time was around 15 minutes. Its crazy long considering a 3 dollar vps with Caprover was able to build a next js image in 1 minute.
- Creating prebuild and postbuild scripts was really weird (or not even possible?). I tried to find information about it but could not. Compared to heroku for instance, where running a postbuild script is easy and very well documented.
