Easy to use Platform for deploying projects
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about heroku its a easy to use platform for deploying your apps. I have used it a lot for deploying backend of my apps. You also get lots of tutorials related deployment over heroku, then it also beocmes easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike about heroku is adding your payment cards. I tried different cards, cards of my friends as well but none of them worked. I really don't understand what kind of payment card they need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Heroku is making easy for deploying projects in just a few minutes. You don't need to worry about RAM, Os at all. They just take your code & make it prodution ready in just a few minutes. Although it is paid now but I deployed a lot of my college projects here.
Best Limited CPaaS platform with direct support for developers to deploy their application
What do you like best about the product?
Heroku provides direct optionality to deploy your application with a specific programming language. No config setup or infrastructure maintenance. Good options for limited-scope applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't deploy massive or large-scale applications as the optionality to config the application is limited. Multiple functionalities like Multi-AZ or load balancer is not there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For limited-scope products or MVPs where the application is in the ideation phase and doesn't require the DevOps team to monitor it continuously. Applications with small user base can also be catered to.
Easy to deploy and manage applications

Heroku is an excellent platform for deploying web applications. It's user-friendly, scalable, and offers a wide range of integrations. With its reliable infrastructure and supportive community, Heroku simplifies the deployment process, allowing developers to focus on building great apps. Highly recommended.

Lacking security controls, especially who can access different addons, and auditing

Heroku used to be good but they ruined it
What do you like best about the product?
It makes deployments effortless with numerous available services such as Postgres, Redis, RabbitMQ, datadog, NewRelic etc. with one click.
No need to configure docker and buildpacks are incredible and seamless.
It also provides production, dev, staging etc. environments to deploy different branches of the project for rapid testing and previews.

What do you dislike about the product?
Heroku used to provide free dynos with 730-hours/month limits which were enough to last a month.
So basically, it was a free PaaS for deploying projects. Free dynos were automatically scaled to 0 and spun up seamlessly when the app received traffic.
But now, the free dynos have been discontinued, so Heroku is no longer a suitable platform for deploying hobby projects and showcasing them.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Heroku takes out the pain of manually deploying projects or configuring CI/CD pipelines.
Add-on services like Postgres, Redis, NewRelic etc. are effortless set-up.
Heroku also saves the pain of configuring multiple dev, staging, and production environments.
Heroku's rollback features are also helpful in instantly rolling back faulty deployments.

Great Sync tool (1 way or two)
What do you like best about the product?
It is a fantastic sync tool for SFDC and our proprietary app! We have several one and two way syncs between many different objects within Salesforce, both custom objects and standard.
What do you dislike about the product?
The sync can sometimes be slow; additionally, debugging can be hard when there are issues. I do wish that there was the ability to create custom dashboards, so that we could track higher priority issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We did not want to build our own sync between Salesforce and our proprietary app. We also didn't want to have to maintain the tool ourselves. This is helping us greatly with our syncs.
All in one solution for my Nodejs development server
What do you like best about the product?
Its CICD integration with VCS like GitHub.
Deployment is faster than its competitor like Render
it has its own CLI tool, which is handy when you want to deploy projects which not on any VCS and check logs for applications without login your account in the web browser.

What do you dislike about the product?
It becoming paid now means they have removed their free tier, so even if you want to try it, you must pay for it. And it's a bit more expensive than that. It's hosting also has some issues. You will face many problems working with different libraries like Puppeteerjs, which doesn't work on their hosting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It Provides me with a one-click solution to set up my development server and integrate CICD automatically. With this, I can focus more on development rather than deployment.
Concise and fast way to MVP a server
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
Heroku is the best way to start and scale projects
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
Makes Deploying Web Apps At Scale Simple For Small Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Heroku provides tools that enable us to deploy our application more easily and with less configuration. We get to focus our effort on product development and rapid improvement instead of spending it tinkering with server configuration.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price is the biggest downside. We've used Heroku for 10+ years now. I had thought that over time pricing would decrease, however it appears that hasn't happened. While we'd undoubtedly save money using another service, the polished tools and convenience factor are keeping us with Heroku for now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Heroku to run Ruby on Rails applications, both web/worker servers and database. Easy rollbacks, backups, and scaling options all us to worry less about the unexpected.
Great solution to avoid having to spend time managing hosting.
What do you like best about the product?
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
What do you dislike about the product?
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
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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
