Is EdgeSpark a Heroku alternative?

If you want edge, on-demand hosting with the backend included and your agent running the deploy, yes. Heroku remains familiar for classic dyno-based apps deployed via git push.

Is there an always-on server to pay for?

No. Edge handlers run on demand per request, so there is no idle dyno billing. A paid workspace starts at the price of a coffee.

What runtime do apps use?

The Cloudflare Workers runtime. Long-lived processes, native binaries, and filesystem access aren't supported, so use Workers-compatible libraries.

EdgeSpark vs Heroku

No dynos. No git push. Your agent ships it.

Heroku deploys to always-on dynos with git push. EdgeSpark deploys to the edge, on demand — your AI agent runs it, and the database, auth, and storage come included.

Why teams move to EdgeSpark

On-demand, not always-on

Edge handlers run per request, so there is no idle dyno to pay for and nothing to keep warm.

Agent runs the deploy

Skip git remotes and buildpacks — your AI agent ships through the EdgeSpark skill.

Backend included

Managed SQL database, auth, and object storage per project — no add-ons to assemble.

Global edge

Apps run close to users on Cloudflare Workers infrastructure.
