It was good before SalesForce…
In 2018, I had to transition my org at the time from Heroku to AWS (with the org lacking any AWS experience outside of myself).
We ended up with a “Heroku-like” experience. Push to GitHub. Action triggers job. Job packages and deploys. À la carte yaml config for extras like databases and ALBs. It worked pretty well. It was an in house solution to an in house problem.
Still, it wasn’t quite Heroku…

It’s clear enough but they aren’t going out of their way to make it obvious. It’s definitely fluffed up / corporately sanitized.
Back in the day, Heroku, Stripe, and GitHub were iconic engineering organizations. They had this culture rooted in Unix ethos with a sprinkle of modern minimalism and style that was outstanding. You could really see people give a damn in the careful design and polish of their APIs, docs, primitives, and overall output. Now Heroku and GitHub have been gutted in spirit by their acquirers, which is such a damn shame for…
Spinning up temporary VMs/stateful machines is going to be super valuable in the next year or 2. Heroku not jumping on this just shows the state of Salesforce. Absolutely inept. I foresee slack going down a similar path of enshittification
It took me several reads to distill their post to this one sentence: "Enterprise Account contracts will no longer be offered to new customers" I'd be glad to stand corrected but AFAICT this is the only sentence that describes the change. All other say "nothing is changing in [some area]". Trying to downplay something to that extent immediately raises suspicious that this something (the change) is much more profound t…
There is no way they can avoid this kind of public notice.
"We know changes like this can raise questions, and we want to be clear about what this means for customers." Proceeds to not be clear about what this means for customers.
If any Heroku customer is reading this and not immediately going "we need to move off Heroku ASAP" all future problems are their own fault.

Wow, I have to admit that I have not heard anyone in the past 2 years or so to be on Heroku so it makes sense. I think they handled it quite well knowing that there most likely have been a steady decline of users. Generally I would avoid promoting myself but in this situation I think it fits the topic. I'm co-founder of a Platform-as-a-Service based in Europe named Ploi Cloud [0]. We focus on web applications working…
