Results show Heroku leading among hosted platforms at ~1122 req/sec, followed by DigitalOcean (~727), OpenShift (~597), Scaleway (~497), and AWS T2.micro (~456). Pricing, RAM, and quirks of each platform (like OpenShift's env variables and surprisingly slower load-balanced scaling) are also discussed. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
