"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.

"Great Platform And Easy To Use For Application Development"
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

Heroku is a fast, easy, nice and very reliable place to host your server-side apps, node.js, and ruby on rails apps works like a charm. I use HEROKU to deploy my apps, it allows me to store logs, run commands on the server side, clone the entire app and create a new environment, add services to my apps such as Sendgrid, Postgres DB and many many other. It also allows you to create pipelines and set up your environment variables in a very easy going manner over the web tools but also there is the CLI that allows you to do all the actions over the console. The overall service experience is great, once you start working with Heroku, Git will be your best friend since it is the way to deploy your apps. It even provides you with many development environments for your apps like Swift and any other that have some sort of package manager. Last but not least you can manage your project collaborators and ownership over the web manager so you can create your app and add all the members on your development team in no time or you can create an app for your client and once it's finished you can transfer the app ownership to your client. This is by far one of the best services for apps development I'd found in years, it really reduces the development and deployment time, no setup for each app, just the joy of git push heroku master ..... DoneTo gets to start with the services you just need to create the app in the web manager app, which makes it super Easy to use, it is super FAST to deploy and run the apps. It is highly scalable, you can start with a free dyno and scale it over the paid plans according to your needs with makes it very cost efficient. It might replace your git repository but also it is very easy to create several environments for your app in no time with exact clones of it even with environmental variables

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

Unfortunately, we do not use Heroku for every project because it does have a high cost. While it is my favorite to use, sometimes it feels like the smarter decision to give up a little bit of the elegant design in exchange for significant savings in cost. The introduction of Hobby dynos awhile back made Heroku a great starting point for fresh apps, but depending on how many users we plan on having, sometimes the cost of staying on Heroku will quickly eclipse other platforms as a service option which while less elegant, still get the job done.

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

We have lost of limit in Salesforce to update, Insert and delete the data but using Heroku we resolve this issue and update lost of data. Some of the third party also we can't connect with some other service but we connect. Heroku also having lots of important add-ons. I used Postgres, Heroku Connect, Sumologic, Paper trail, Scheduler more.

"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.

Sometimes it's TOO flexible for people who are not excited by technology.

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

Everything is just faster and easier.
