The same issue I have with Render, I also have with this. If you have to create a config file for the environment, you aren't giving me a Heroku-like experience.

Give me an opinionated default that works well for most situations that I can then build on top of, configure further, etc..



Render doesn’t require you to use a YAML file though.

I’ve deployed a couple of things there and never used the YAML files, just the UI.


They're definitely required for at least some scenarios, as a raw deploy didn't work for me, they're called out in the help docs, and I had a chat w/ their CEO on the topic a few weeks ago.


We are working on this.

In ~2 weeks, we'll release a version with an interactive CLI "tour" that can generate the "sane-defaults" configuration for your application.

Or you can start by copying the configuration from one of our quickstart tutorials.
