Convox provides enterprise-grade security by default, including automated updates, network isolation, and built-in encryption for data at rest and in transit. Unlike Heroku, which requires manual configurations and third-party tools to achieve the same level of protection, Convox ensures your applications remain secure out of the box—without added complexity or extra costs.
• Built-in security features (not an extra cost like Heroku)
• No reliance on third-party add-ons
• Zero-maintenance security model
Deploy your applications faster and with fewer manual steps using Convox’s intuitive, Docker-native deployment pipeline. Unlike Heroku’s buildpack limitations and extra configuration steps, Convox lets you deploy any application stack with a single command, ensuring seamless and efficient releases.
• Full Docker support—no buildpack restrictions
• CI/CD automation for smooth, repeatable deployments
• No limitations on languages, frameworks, or dependencies
Convox’s Kubernetes-based architecture automatically scales your applications based on workload demands, ensuring maximum efficiency, performance, and cost savings. In contrast, Heroku’s dyno-based system requires manual adjustments, often leading to scaling inefficiencies and higher costs.
• True autoscaling—adapts to workload demands in real-time
• More efficient than Heroku’s dyno-based model
• No surprise scaling costs
Heroku’s tiered pricing model leads to unexpected expenses as you grow, making large-scale applications costly to maintain. Convox offers flat-rate, transparent pricing, ensuring that your infrastructure scales affordably without hidden fees or unpredictable expenses.
• Flat-rate pricing vs. Heroku’s tiered scaling costs
• No extra charges for high traffic or CPU spikes
• Clear, predictable billing—no surprises
Convox provides a powerful CLI and API-driven workflows for deploying, scaling, and managing applications without relying on clunky dashboards. Unlike Heroku’s UI-first model, which slows down advanced users, Convox’s CLI-first approach enhances speed, efficiency, and automation.
• Streamlined CLI for automation & efficiency
• No need to navigate slow UI dashboards
• API-driven workflows for greater developer control
Convox’s advanced orchestration and intelligent load balancing deliver superior performance and lower latency compared to Heroku’s dyno-based infrastructure. This ensures your applications remain fast, reliable, and cost-effective—even under heavy demand.
• More efficient performance than Heroku’s dyno-based system
• Lower latency & improved resource management
• Optimized for high-traffic, production workloads
