01 · What it is

Heroku, made clear.

Heroku is the PaaS that taught the world 'git push heroku main': apps in any language, deploys in minutes, managed Postgres and Redis, slider scaling. Its superpower in the Salesforce family is Heroku Connect: bidirectional synchronization with the CRM without writing integrations.

The right boundary

What lives on Platform (low-code) and what on Heroku (pro-code): the architecture decided upfront avoids duplicates.

Connect without surprises

Mappings and volumes planned: the sync is powerful but must be sized.

Private Spaces

Isolated network and EU residency for the apps handling serious data.

Costs per dyno

Comfort has a price: right-sizing and sleep for the minor environments.

03 · In depth

A PaaS for developers: dynos, add-ons and pipelines

Heroku runs apps (Node, Python, Ruby, Java, Go, PHP) with a git push: dynos scale horizontally and vertically, add-ons (managed Postgres, Redis, Kafka) attach in one command, pipelines with review apps bring every PR into a live environment; Heroku Connect syncs bidirectionally with Salesforce; Private Spaces isolate network and compliance; AI (Managed Inference) adds models as add-ons.

  • git push heroku — from commit to deploy in minutes: the DX that set the school
  • Dyno — processes scalable with a slider: capacity planning simplified
  • Add-on — managed Postgres, Redis, Kafka: the backing service in one command
  • Review app — every PR with its own environment: the review on the real software
  • Heroku Connect — the bidirectional sync with the CRM without APIs to write
  • Private Space — isolated network and dedicated region: the PaaS for the regulated

Heroku takes the infrastructure out of the path: architecture, pipelines and Connect set up by us — the custom's time-to-market is halved.
05 · Use cases

Where it really pays off.

High-traffic portals

The customer site that scales, with fresh CRM data.

Custom APIs

The logic the low-code doesn't cover.

Serious prototypes

From idea to production without stopping to build servers.

The custom mustn't drift away from the customer: on Heroku it stays beside them — with Connect, synchronized.
