This was a confusing read. I guess GitLab has a hosting service, or does it? Or was this a demo of terraform?

The 5 minute production app is a fancy GitLab CI script that uses Terraform to provision managed services.

The goal is to “quickly make a stateful app that is deployed on a hypercloud” https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/5-minute-production-app/deploy...

More a demo of how GitLab pipelines and terraform work together. In this case the app was deployed to AWS.

but thats not even in the same ballpark as heroku or is it? people using heroku dont want to have anything to do with terraform

correct.
