About Heroku

Heroku is a PaaS that provides services and tools to build, run, and scale web and mobile apps. A Salesforce Company.

Heroku Runtime

Your apps run inside smart containers in a fully managed runtime environment, we handle everything critical for production — configuration, orchestration, load balancing, failovers, logging, security, and more.

Heroku Postgres (SQL)

Reliable and secure PostgreSQL as a service with easy setup, encryption at rest, simple scaling, database forking, continuous protection, and more.

Heroku Data for Redis

The most popular in-memory, key-value datastore — delivered as a service. Heroku Data for Redis provides powerful data types, great throughput, and built-in support for top languages.

Scale

Heroku scales in an instant, both vertically and horizontally. You can elegantly run everything from tiny hobby projects to enterprise-grade e-commerce handling Black Friday surges.

Add-ons

Extend, enhance, and manage your applications with pre-integrated services like New Relic, MongoDB, SendGrid, Searchify, Fastly, Papertrail, ClearDB MySQL, Treasure Data, and more.

Data Clips

Data Clips make it easy to keep everyone in the loop with up-to-the-second data insights from your project by sharing query results via a simple and secure URL.

Code and data rollback

Work fearlessly — Heroku’s build system and Postgres service let you roll back your code or your database to a previous state in an instant.

App metrics

Always know what’s going on with your apps thanks to built-in monitoring of throughput, response times, memory, CPU load, and errors.

Continuous delivery

Heroku Flow uses Heroku Pipelines, Review Apps and GitHub Integration to make building, iterating, staging, and shipping apps easy, visual, and efficient.

GitHub Integration

Our seamless GitHub integration means every pull request spins up a disposable Review App for testing, and any repo can be set up to auto-deploy with every GitHub push to a branch of your choosing.

Extensibility

Customize your stack with a Heroku innovation: Buildpacks. Build your own, or choose one from the hundreds built by the community to run Gradle, Meteor, NGINX — even Haskell.

Smart containers

Your apps run in smart containers called dynos, where the system and language stacks are continually monitored, patched, and upgraded by our team.
