Salesforce Heroku Reviews

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.

It is expensive and has many paid add-ons.

I use it to deploy the backend services of my applications. I currently have more than 10 web services running on Salesforce Heroku

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

Heroku is the primary software we use for deploying our main application. It's API is lightweight which makes it super-easy for our team of developers to deploy the fix and changes on the main branch. It also supports a perfectly useful database for postgres setup which can be optmised to the number of users we need.

Developer experience with security makes it a winning combination

Nothing as such to dislike about the product

We were able to acheive more with the data we had !! Its simplifies security and compliance

Simply database and deployment for my services

Changes happen without notice that require quick adjustments

Easy to use for non-technical and technical users

Ease of use and scalibilty with all the application

A bit expensive if you are planning to run an app on a long term basis

Developing applications on Heroku. This is helping the client save on the infra cost.

It allow us to easily build,deploy and deploy web applications using a wide range of programming language and tools.

It also provides a highly scalable and flexible environment for building and deploying web applications

The cost can be a significant drawback for some business when using it

It helps to solve the problems of deploying and scaling web applications and also benfiting my business by streamlining development and reducing infrastructure management overhead

Easy to use, GUI is intuitive and also heroku provides their own CLI to perform all functions related to your web application. Pipelines are a great feature that greatly improves new integrations. It is a thru CI solution

Nothing to dislike so far, we have been using heroku for several months now and so far we haven't had issues with it. We use it do host our thirdparty integration with our ERP using APIs

Third-party API integration with our ERP, we are using web services to accomplish this. also, heroku add-ons are a great feature; for example we have postgreSQL addon

Most of all, it is fast and straight to the point. The best thing about Heroku is not having to go trough the hassle of creating a server, hiring an URL, managing proxies, authentication, etc.

Until 2022 it was possible to test an entire site by simply cloning the code into your Github and syncing to Heroku, but at the end of 2022 the free database attached to the Heroku free accounts were removed, not allowing for even lightweight processing for test, requiring a paid plan for any kind of operation requiring a database.

Heroku was very helpful in testing an MVP and showing it to the company's partners in a very economical and fast-paced fashion. It was somewhat easy to configure the server instance to run a Django website.

With Heroku we can quickly scale our solutions when the demands come, with practically zero downtime. Besides, it's straightforward to attach new services and create multiple environments for testing and development.

The biggest con about Heroku is the price model of some addons, which are not directly related to Heroku itself, in some cases we can see common services like DB hosting costing 2 or 3 times more than in other environments.

Heoku help us scale our solution with ease. Besides scaling, it also supporting cloning, so we can easily extend our services to our customers when necessary either by increasing our main service capacity or by creating a dedicated environment for that customer.

Heroku is one of the best PaaS in the market to meet your 3rd party app or customer portal demands. In our client project, we have integrated Heroku with multiple portals and custom URLs. Also, we have achieved a lot of improvisation in our customer portal with Heroku CLI along with Salesforce CLI.

Our Salesforce custom portal was integrated with Heroku, and with each Salesforce upgrade, we are measuring component and overall page performance. We observed a decline in loading time after each subsequent upgrade.

We have integrated Heroku with multiple apps and portals. With Heroku, we have made a PaaS solution; It is easy to use among developers keeping a version history. We also use Heroku for app monitoring.
