Earlier quoted context omitted.

There doesn't seem to be anything different now than 6 hours ago. So posting it after 8pm EDT/5pm PDT Friday seems very intentional.

With what intention? Honest question, I don't see a strategic advantage in posting this on a Friday. More of a disadvantage, actually, with less visibility.

Heroku is a one of kind platform, many tried to replicate, none have come close, the ability to setup a whole app with a few clicks on dynos and add-ons is great. The price was always salty $50/month for 1gb RAM shared CPU, and in the few past years no newly released features comes to mind. As a customer I have no idea what this security issue impact, the communication has been poor as this post does not clarify much…

Sorry but Render at their lunch entirely. Try it. https://render.com/docs/deploy-rails

Want simple? Use a build.sh

Want a bit complexity? Use a Dockerfile.

Their docs are really copy paste for 99.9% applications. Whoever in that company made the decision to invest in docs was right on the money. It made switching to them a much easier choice. https://render.com

“I have a lifelong enthusiasm for developers and the experience they have building software together” And then drops a link to contact them, via LinkedIn… LinkedIn is the polar opposite of GitHub.

Email address is good but also an issue tracker or better yet IRC or something public would be good.

If you're on Heroku how do you deploy now? It says it's still weeks away before you can deploy - did I read this right?

Still weeks away from enabling the GitHub integration again, you can still manually deploy via the heroku CLI.

Our team realised heroku was going to take weeks and we’ve replicated our “review app” development workflow with GitHub actions that clone apps on PR, push code and rebuild them on push and destroy them on PR close. It’s not as seamless as the heroku GitHub integration but it’s good enough for now.

When I saw the Salesforce email I thought I was being spammed or phished or getting a job offer.

>The Heroku team and their colleagues have worked around the clock, including nights and weekends Can someone more familiar with an event like this tell me what they are working so hard on? I imagine securing the vulnerable service and resetting various credentials doesn't take that much work.

They're working on their optics, amigo
