About us

Heroku from Salesforce is the AI PaaS for deploying, managing, and scaling your apps. We enable developers to build and run their applications entirely in the cloud, without the need to purchase or maintain servers or software. Utilize services, tools, workflows, and polyglot support—all designed to enhance developer productivity. Our platform is elegant, flexible, and easy to use, providing the simplest path to getting apps to market. That’s why we provide 150+ third-party add-ons, 380+ open source buildpacks, officially support nine languages (Node.js, Ruby, Java, PHP, Python, Go, Scala, Clojure, and .NET), and support companies of all sizes, from startups to enterprises. Heroku tackles the toil: patching and upgrading, 24/7 ops and security, build systems, failovers, and more. All so you can stay focused on building great data-driven applications.

    The Heroku CLI has been upgraded to v11. This release is a complete technical modernization, replacing the previous architecture with an ESM-first foundation and #oclif v4. This release provides a more stable and performant base for the #CLI as the #JavaScript ecosystem evolves. It includes faster command loading and execution, a new semantic color system for terminal output, faster command discovery, and consolidated data maintenance commands under a unified namespace. See what’s changed and how to upgrade: https://sforce.co/4mc9N4L

    One fix. Universal benefit. 🚀 When Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNB) solves a problem for Heroku, the entire ecosystem gets the same battle-tested solution. CNB maintainer Juan Bustamante explains how upstream collaboration accelerates innovation for everyone. By shifting fixes for security, observability, and compliance directly into the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) projects, we ensure progress is shared, not siloed. See how the "invisible" work of maintainers powers the cloud: https://sforce.co/4lQWiY4

    We’re doubling the default slug size on #Heroku. 🚀 To reduce deployment friction for modern stacks, we’ve increased the default maximum compressed slug size from 500MB to 1GB and extended build compile timeouts across the board. What this means for you: ✅ Less time spent on aggressive slug optimization. ✅ Fewer failed builds due to timeout constraints. ✅ More flexibility for modern, data-rich stacks. Deploy larger, build longer, and keep your focus on the code. Full details on the update: https://sforce.co/4t41URj #DevOps #CloudComputing

    The best infrastructure is the kind you never have to think about. Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNB) maintainer Juan Bustamante takes us behind the scenes of the "invisible" work that keeps modern platforms running. From shipping 27 releases in 14 months to delivering critical security patches within days, this is how upstream maintainership protects the entire ecosystem. At Heroku, our history with buildpacks runs deep. We’re proud to continue supporting the work of maintainers who ensure these standards remain battle-tested for everyone, from Google Cloud to VMware Tanzu and the broader Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) community.

    From "Why is it slow?" to "Fixed it" in minutes. 🛠️ Troubleshooting shouldn't feel like a scavenger hunt. The latest SolarWinds Papertrail add-on for Heroku allows you to view log streams directly beneath your metrics. Imagine seeing a latency spike and immediately identifying the specific Dyno worker outputting "Out of Memory" (R14) errors in the same window. No toggling, no time-syncing issues, just instant correlation. Check out the streamlined full-stack visibility: https://sforce.co/4sBlFze #CloudComputing #Observability #Papertrail

    As the devastating wildfires unfolded in Los Angeles last year, access to up-to-date information became a potentially life-or-death situation. For more than 10 million people, Watch Duty was that vital source of real-time updates. The nonprofit’s Cofounder and CTO, Dave Merritt, joined us on Code[ish] this week to explain how Watch Duty works and the technologies like Heroku that make it possible.

    Let’s be honest: manually rotating SSL certificates is nobody’s favorite activity. And it's about to happen twice as often. ⏳ On March 15th, the industry maximum for new public certificate lifetimes drops to 200 days. Good news for Heroku Automated Certificate Management (ACM) users: no action is required—we handle these shorter windows automatically. However, if you’re handling certificates manually, any uploads after March 15th will now require renewal every 200 days.

    “If you see a problem, it doesn't need to be solved in a for-profit way.” That’s the approach the founders of Watch Duty took to creating an app that has now grown into a lifesaving resource for millions of Americans. Listen to the latest episode of the Code[ish] podcast with Dave Merritt to learn how it seamlessly handles traffic spikes to deliver real-time updates during wildfires.
