"Simple to use and works amazingly great!"
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

Salesforce Heroku is a PaaS platform that I have grown to appreciate. It stands out for its simplicity in setting up, deploying code, and overall management. In contrast to AWS, GCP, or Azure, where the onus is on me to configure and oversee everything, Heroku streamlines the process. As a software developer with limited devOps experience, Heroku has become my preferred tool for managing server infrastructure.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

It is expensive and has many paid add-ons.

What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use it to deploy the backend services of my applications. I currently have more than 10 web services running on Salesforce Heroku

"Accesible and Versatile Solution for deploying an application"
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

I have been using Heroku for deploying one of the new venture products for english language tutoring. The thing I like about Heroku is that it can support many languages at the same time. It uses Ubuntu in the underlying OS which makes installing packages quite easy. We haven't needed to use customer support as of now because the documentation of Heroku is helpful and it solves most of issues. It is easily handling our 7 million user base and more than 50 thousand test takers quite easily. It is easily integrable wih all packages. We are using it daily for our development.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

I don't like that it doesn't have enough analytics for the SQL database hosted on its server. It becomes difficult to do job query optimisation when we are making the calls on the database

What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?

Heroku is the primary software we use for deploying our main application. It's API is lightweight which makes it super-easy for our team of developers to deploy the fix and changes on the main branch. It also supports a perfectly useful database for postgres setup which can be optmised to the number of users we need.

"Concise and fast way to MVP a server"
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

Most of all, it is fast and straight to the point. The best thing about Heroku is not having to go trough the hassle of creating a server, hiring an URL, managing proxies, authentication, etc.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

Until 2022 it was possible to test an entire site by simply cloning the code into your Github and syncing to Heroku, but at the end of 2022 the free database attached to the Heroku free accounts were removed, not allowing for even lightweight processing for test, requiring a paid plan for any kind of operation requiring a database.

What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?

Heroku was very helpful in testing an MVP and showing it to the company's partners in a very economical and fast-paced fashion. It was somewhat easy to configure the server instance to run a Django website.

"Review for Salesforce Heroku"
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

Heroku is one of the best PaaS in the market to meet your 3rd party app or customer portal demands. In our client project, we have integrated Heroku with multiple portals and custom URLs. Also, we have achieved a lot of improvisation in our customer portal with Heroku CLI along with Salesforce CLI.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

Our Salesforce custom portal was integrated with Heroku, and with each Salesforce upgrade, we are measuring component and overall page performance. We observed a decline in loading time after each subsequent upgrade.

What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have integrated Heroku with multiple apps and portals. With Heroku, we have made a PaaS solution; It is easy to use among developers keeping a version history. We also use Heroku for app monitoring.

I've using Heroku since earlies 2010 since there it has been a long and pleasant journey, Heroku has many features and one I really like is its big market of modules, it CI/CD is fantastic and intuitive, and the support to the most important programming languages, but Heroku doesn't keep there it continues improving and giving you a lot of good features like management logging, and GitHub integration.

so far I can't complain about Heroku s its been, I would improve the PHP support for CodeIgniter 4 and incorporate Net Core as an official stack, but in terms of platform for me is the best one.

What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've deployed many applications in Heroku as a freelancer its free Dinos are a blessing as I can have simple applications running at almost zero cost. I've deployed my personal Portfolio in Heroku, a Clock IN/OUT application, a Calculator and a couple of more applications

"Best PaaS for all Cloud Apps management"
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

Heroku is one of the easiest plaform where we can deploy our apps , websites for completely free.It supports codes of many languages like python,C,node,ruby,java etc.Heroku supports github integration.It is a paradise for hobbyists where we can build ,run and scale for free. However,paid services are also available if it needs more load handling and extra features

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

Heroku free Dyno resets every one hour.You need to upgrade to paid plan for more Dyno hours.Also most of the heroku free apps will stop by 20th of the month.But it can be bypassed if you add a credit card for verification purposes

What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a very handy service when it comes to telegram bot deployment .More than 80% of telegram bots are deployed on heroku .Heroku has never said a no for legal personal use of their platforms.It is also a very reliable cloud service and offers various features like realtime log monitoring , transferring ownership,add collaborators ,switch off Dyno when not in use.Overall an excellent service

"The best choice on the market for managed services"
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

The development pipeline, and the app marketplace. You can literally deploy your app from staging to production in just one click. Also, you can link a new database or any service your app needs in just a click, like loggers, monitors, etc.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

The only downside of heroku is the lack of native rust lang running. You can run a lot of languages natively on heroku like go, python, node, java, but not rust. Our team using rust more often, and we would like to deploy rust code on heroku without docker. Currently we have to dockerize it to run on heroku

What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?

The CI is just amazing. We don't have to worry about databases and other services, we just add one from the marketplace and we're done. We have reduced our devops hours by 75%.

"Heroku the best place to host you webapp"
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

Heroku is one of the best platforms to host your web app. I support almost every possible backend language. Apart from that, you can host up to 4-5 web apps for free on your free tier. And it is very simple to use. If you have a little bit of knowledge about how the git command-line interface works you can easily use this. Alo you can manage your app with the bash terminal and can log if there is any issue or error in the web app. Maintaining and scaling your web app is very simple for you with Heroku. I have personally hosted all my web apps on Heroku. And the documentation is also very clear so there won't be any hassle for you in using this product.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

There is nothing to dislike about this software.

What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?

After using this it was very easy to host my web apps like node, react, flask, etc. And maintaining and managing them had also become very easy. This was the first platform that I used and it so much suited me that I did not think of changing this anytime.

"A great tool for rapid arrangement and environment conformation."
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

Heroku is an outstanding tool for new users, providing perfectly simple, easy, and rapid early distribution and environment arrangement. It offers easy arrangement, environment confirmation, and simple practicability. The Heroku CLI delivers a great user interface for cooperating with the cloud environment. The metrics involved in Heroku are brilliant as an initial means for analyzing high-level problems. It is an open-source with wide-ranging certification. It offers a general pricing strategy.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

In some situations, Heroku could not be well-appropriate, because the price could be relatively higher as compared to GCP or AWS when using a few add-ons with more exclusive strategies. The cost of Heroku is not reasonably priced. Though it functions pretty good for smaller organizations, demanding little containers, it becomes very high-priced for larger applications. The value of add-on wholesalers is all the time more inconstant as Heroku enlarges the market.

What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is an astonishing tool for the expansion of smaller apps, facilities, and sites that contains an inadequate budget or price estimation. It has an accessible user-friendly interface. It delivers highly scalable facilities and apps, with excessive competence to scale an app when desirable. It helps multiple databases, languages, and provide some other facilities in the form of add-ons. It is likely to get it free for smaller and simpler apps.

"My experience hosting a Python web application on Heroku"
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

My favorite part of Heroku is how fast I can have a web application up and running, even on a free tier.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

Most of my projects are hosted on the free tier, which goes to sleep after a certain period of no use. When the dyno wakes again it can take upwards of 30 seconds for the webpage to load. While I can't really complain because I'm using the free version, it would be nice not to have to deal with this latency. Otherwise great product all around.

What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm hosting a web application for a startup I do contract work for. It's a python web application using the Flask framework and deployed using gunicorn. The main benefit is the ease of use and how quick new changes can be pushed out in just a few seconds. I also like how it hooks up directly to my github repo.

"Very easy platform for deploy your applications"
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

what I like the most is the ease of configuration and deployment of applications. In just a few clicks and a few commands you can have your app in production and your domain with ssl

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

The price of the hobby plan could be something less... about 3 euros a month would be fair.

What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem I'm solving is related to devops. I don't want to be configuring servers and I want to focus more on programming my app.

"The fastest way to expand your software stack"
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

There are a lot of cloud-based platforms for rapid deployment now, and Heroku's feature set is as robust as any of them. But it's extensive set of Add-Ons makes it stand apart. Truly, with one click you can incorporate any additional service you can possibly conceive of. Not only are days or weeks of work collapsed into hours, but it makes it possible to try out different options before you commit, bc the investment in setting them up is low.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

Dealing with the lack of persistence file storage is painful, as is upgrading or downgrading the specs of the database. While the pricing for hosting is reasonable, some of the most common Add-Ons are priced a bit high, so costs can quickly add up.

What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?

Heroku makes it possible for us to run a website with a complicated back-end with minimal staff. Most of the set-up/integration work on the platform fits well within the DevOps skillset of an experienced software developer, which means our core team can handle most of the infrastructure work,

"Heroku ideal for developers in the cloud."
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

Salesforce Heroku, is an ideal tool for all types of developers who want to upload their applications to the cloud, you can work as a test error, running the applications, which are in the database of the application, in an environment simulated, for later, when you are sure, they work perfectly, they are uploaded to the network, and they can be online and accessible to all.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

I must be honest, this software is somewhat complicated to use even for advanced developers, many commands and codes may be difficult for many to understand, since they are development environments a little different from those we are already familiar with, apart from this, the documentation of help, which is found on the web, about this program is very limited, a very large help documentation is needed, to avoid wasting time, in the trial and error of the use of the different features, that the application uses.

What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a sector of developers, experimenting with new creations of applications of all kinds based on Heroku, we see a high potential, in this application and we want to move, many outdated applications that we still have, elaborated in different applications that use obsolete codes, and change them by the new ones that are made, in Heroku.

"Hassle-free solution for web applications"
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

The ease of deployment and configuration is a big plus. Heroku lets you build and scale your website (and related components such as Postgres database or a Redis cache) with minimal fuss. There's more add-ons such as scheduled tasks and monitoring. Compared to other cloud providers, it's much easier to learn how to use and deploy your first app.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

I think that for a highly complex application, heroku may not offer enough low-level control of the infrastructure.

What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?

I built an application that let's users upload their data and share with others. It was very easy to provision the machines and the databases I needed - I didn't have to manage any networking configuration for example.

"A Hands on platform, very rapidly deployable."
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

Heroku toolbelt: It makes every thing easy as pie, from profiling a deployed system to switching from local to remote console in order to perform any desired task. It feels just as if one were working on his/her local computer, while performing some very non-trivial remote tasks. Also, the Procfile feature is a must, as I can easily configure additional tests, continuous integration, and run some extra scripts that I might need in order to fulfill a certain task my product my be in need of. Switching from local to my remote deployed system, as well as having many different instances installed at the distance of a simple command text. It's a must to me!

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

Steep learning curve. In order to being fully capable of using heroku's platform, one needs to take quite a bit of time to learn its commands and entrails. It did take me a while to really take the time to study it. I wish it was a little simpler so I could have enjoyed its great plugins a lot earlier.

What problems is Salesforce Heroku solving and how is that benefiting you?

Backend Restful API with Real Time features. It's pretty much the same thing like working on my own environment. So I had for far no hassles at all with the classical: "in my machine it works" excuse.
