    • Teams that want Salesforce-backed Cedar dynos with a published Basic $7 always-on floor
    • Heroku is positioned around Classic Salesforce-backed PaaS — Basic $7 always-on is the floor; Eco $5 sleep dynos are not production always-on TCO. That focus is useful when buyers want a clear primary job rather than an everything-platform.
