strapi-tool-dockerize VS publishing-strapiv4-heroku

Another great alternative to generate the Dockerfile, docker-compose.yaml and all the Docker related files is to use dockerize. This tool will automatically detect your project and help you add docker support via a nice CLI UI. From your project root folder, you need to run the following:

Strapi wouldn’t be anything without its community, which is very much represented by its Community Stars. The Write for the Community program resulted in 148 new articles being published, for a total of 1.3M views. 2022 was also the year of the launch of the Strapi Community Organization, a group of community members dedicated to empowering initiatives and highlighting them. Boaz, Mattie, Sacha, and Simen have been invaluable contributors to the Strapi Community, going above and beyond by developing open-source plugins and tools. Strapi config-sync plugin, mattie-strapi-bundle (for search), Strapi REST cache plugin, Dockerize tool, and more!

The Organization aims to provide value to Strapi users by creating well-maintained plugins, integrations, and tooling. This dedicated GitHub organization already includes popular repositories such as the awesome-strapi repository, Dockerize, to add docker support for a Strapi Project or strapi-plugin-rest-cache.

I'm getting conservatively 800 req/sec on Heroku Standard-1x for my Strapi instance this is on mini postgres with the redis LCU cache, benchmarks here https://123dyno.com/blog/cpu-autoscaling-on-heroku-with-123-dyno. I'd highly recommend installing the redis cache if you haven't looked into it, have my setup in a button here if you want to check out the plugin setup https://github.com/123-Dyno/publishing-strapiv4-heroku. It jumps occasionally when cache clears but for the most part is fine.

Recently released a button to deploy Strapi to Heroku if you need a reference for deploying there. Cheapest plan is somewhere between $13-$20ish for your traffic needs, really should not be costing you 110. Migrating over will probably take some work but won't require too much maintenance when setup.

I'm posting a Heroku deploy button for Strapi that I'm maintaining here https://github.com/123-Dyno/publishing-strapiv4-heroku it comes prepackaged with a production scalable setup minus the keys with built in links to Heroku add-ons so it can be setup in less than 10 minutes.
