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.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Heroku is a PaaS solution for full-stack apps, which means that frontend, backend, and databases may all be deployed on the platform, which most other platforms, such as Netlify and Vercel, do not support. Salesforce Heroku enables us to build bespoke apps with high performance, seamless integration, and low latency. All connectors function via event bus integration, allowing Heroku applications to produce events on our Salesforce platform. Another point in favor of this software is its support team, they always do a good job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apps may go to sleep if there is no user engagement for a lengthy period of time, and dealing with Salesforce Heroku has a high learning curve. Experience is required to select which connection to utilize to translate our Salesforce object fields to the table and how to monitor its activity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is expensive and has many paid add-ons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Heroku was solid last decade, they have declined rapidly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dealing with Heroku is ok unless there is an issue. It's impossible to get resolutions without going through layers of people and support tickets. Nothing is fast, emergencies are not escalated.

AVOID at all costs if uptime and customer support is important to your business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about heroku its a easy to use platform for deploying your apps. I have used it a lot for deploying backend of my apps. You also get lots of tutorials related deployment over heroku, then it also beocmes easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I dislike about heroku is adding your payment cards. I tried different cards, cards of my friends as well but none of them worked. I really don't understand what kind of payment card they need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No need to configure docker and buildpacks are incredible and seamless.

Heroku used to provide free dynos with 730-hours/month limits which were enough to last a month.

So basically, it was a free PaaS for deploying projects. Free dynos were automatically scaled to 0 and spun up seamlessly when the app received traffic.

But now, the free dynos have been discontinued, so Heroku is no longer a suitable platform for deploying hobby projects and showcasing them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
