"Great hosting platform to get you up and running"

I love the heroku tools for your terminal and how easy it is to integrate with your GIT workflow. If you're not afraid of the terminal, heroku is amazing simple and fast. Very reliable (or at least as reliable as the S3 architecture it's built on.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

If amazon goes down, we all go down.

"Heroku allows you get up and running fast."
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

The ease of setting up; It is a very straightforward process to set up Heroku and start developing. Since it is cloud-based, we don't need to set up any hardware that allows developers to create a killer application.

So far, there's nothing that I dislike about Heroku.

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

We were working with the contractor to develop a web application, and we didn't want to set up another on-site server; hence we tried Heroku.

"My experience with Heroku"
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

you can get a prototype up and running easily with minimum configurations and best of all for free

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

it's extremely expensive to host an actual (beyond prototype) app on heroku... it's one of the most expensive hosting services... plus some (few) times you cannot find the correct (free) plugin to get your prototype fully working

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

it solves the DEVOPS issues for small business... but if it didn't work at first you might end up in rabbit hole trying to figure out why is the build keep breaking ( when you need some native linux extensions for example like imagemagic)

"Most sophisticated PAAS for rails apps"
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

I'm a rails developer and Heroku is one of the best cloud platforms available today. It offers CLI and makes it so much easy to deployment. The UI is very crisp and easy.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

It bit of an expensive product otherwise it's good

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

I deploy rails apps on Heroku. One of the most amazing features of Heroku is its free tier which is very helpful in local development. It gives students and experimental developers a chance to deploy their apps in the cloud instead of the local environment, which is very good.

"Heroku is an essential development environment for web apps"
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

Heroku CLI. The Heroku CLI for deploying ruby on rails apps is very easy to use and git workflow is made painless with Heroku. It simplifies tasks like upgrading a Postgresql database which can be done easily from the command line.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

The cost. For any development app with limited database tables and accessible to one or two users, deploying to Heroku is a no brainer. But, for production apps, the cost can quickly spiral as more integrations (e.g. New Relic) are added. For the price range of a typical Heroku production app, I feel there are much better solutions out there. While these may not have the ease of use that Heroku can provide, the additional work needed to setup deployment scripts and deploy to a server on Digital Ocean, for example, would be much more cost effective over a long period of time. Also, there are many open-source tools now that can mimic Heroku-like deployments without all of the costs.

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

Working with internal QA teams that need to see latest development changes instantly. Also, managing multiple development environments. With Heroku I can quickly get a new environment up for other team members to review.

"Heroku is developer-friendly and scale-friendly, making it the best option for startups."
What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

The Heroku command line tool chain makes it so easy as a developer to deploy nearly anything within a matter of seconds, it's second-nature to use Heroku by default when deploying any project, be it of corporate scale or side project.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

The pricing, as soon as you're more than the default first dyno, gets pretty hefty pretty fast.

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

Scale and development speed; the main benefit is that neither do I need to learn any sysadmin personally nor will I have to find a sysadmin in a startup context.

What do you like best about Salesforce Heroku?

The ease of deployment, and speed to get started.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Heroku?

It is an opaque system: it can be a struggle to figure out what exactly is happening in any part of the system when things go wrong.
