What it means is that you upload a java WAR ("jar for the web) file and Amazon takes care of hosting it on a pre-installed Tomcat web server.
Heroku was created by a different company to sugar-coat the Amazon platform. For some extra money per month, you will get:
- much much better documentation
- better, simpler, eclipse-plugins
- Easy configuration of external services like non-sql DB and Caching.
If you are working on a small scale project , and your time is precious , go Heroku.
