Heroku's key features include fast deployment, extensive integrations, and easy configuration. Users appreciate its scalability, high availability, and auto-maintenance of databases. The platform supports Node.js and Ruby on Rails effectively and offers CLI, dashboards, and seamless GitHub integration. Developers enjoy not dealing with servers and appreciate continuous integration and deployment capabilities. It allows a quick development cycle, reliable add-ons, and maintains high performance even under large-scale demands like processing billions of requests daily.
- "The product is stable."
- "The solution's most valuable feature is the auto maintenance of databases."
- "I like the tool's scalability, CLI, and dashboards."
Heroku experiences slow server restarts, high pricing for large operations, and complex pipelines. Custom continuous integration support is lacking, and Docker integration is limited. Users need improved analytics, storage scalability, and session management. Free plans are limited, and slug size restrictions cause issues. Configuration complexity and daily server crashes challenge users. Better response times in support and continuous deployment features are needed. Heroku should provide official stacks for varied languages.
- "The pricing could be improved because scaling the database becomes costly."
- "Heroku should increase its slug size limits."
- "I improved the application performance by monitoring and adjusting the cleaner configuration to help set better lightweight limits on containers that run the app instances."
