About Heroku

Heroku taught the industry what platform-as-a-service should feel like: push code, get a running app with managed Postgres, add-ons, and zero server care. Under Salesforce it lost momentum and its free tier, ceding startups to Render and Fly, yet the operational simplicity for small production apps remains hard to beat. Costs escalate sharply as apps scale.

Key Features

  • Buildpack deployments
  • Managed Postgres and Redis
  • Add-on ecosystem
  • Pipelines and review apps
  • Autoscaling dynos

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Legendary deployment simplicity
  • Managed Postgres done well
  • Mature add-on marketplace
  • Predictable per-dyno pricing

Cons

  • Free tier eliminated in 2022
  • Expensive at scale
  • Innovation slowed under Salesforce

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Heroku still free?
No, plans start at $5 monthly for Eco dynos.
What replaced Heroku for hobbyists?
Render, Railway, and Fly.io absorbed much of that audience.
