Is there a service like Heroku for hosting .NET core applications / dbs?

Question

I love the idea of a Heroku style site for a single-founder startup but don't like the idea of third party buildpacks that lack EF migration support once deployed etc.

Azure App Service, maybe? Deploying from the CLI is quick and easy. Or you can do it right from Visual Studio or VS Code.Setting up a database of your choice (Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server) is nice and easy too.

Yes. There is https://appharbor.com It also supports many free tier third party add-ons and prior to docker being as popular as it is I found it a great site to quickly deploy prototypes https://appharbor.com/addons There is also an opportunity to request free hosting if you are building something for the developer community. https://appharbor.com/page/community-application-program
