Heroku is a "platform as a service." That means they try to manage all of the complexities of deployment, like scaling, backups, restarting, etc. They aren't faster, per se, but they (in theory) allow more hands off development operations -- for a price.

Said another way, they manager your Prisma server for you.

As @harmony rightly said, the big win is for people already in the Heroku eco system
