"transitioning to a sustaining engineering model". I don't care what anyone says, it takes real talent to come up with lines like this.

vercel goes a step further, and (when configured this way) allocates a new hostname (eg feature-branch-add-thingg.app.vercel.example.com) for new branches, to make testing even easier.
But their offering is "frontend oriented", what you describe doesn't work for django / laravel / rails / etc, no ?

It remains the greatest engineering team I've ever seen or had the pleasure to be a part of. I was only there from early 2011 to mid 2012 but what I took with me changed me as an engineer. The shear brilliance of the ideas and approaches...I was blessed to witness it. I don't think I can overstate it, though many will think this is all hyperbole. I didn't always agree with the decisions made and I was definitely ther…
I'm just going to chime in here and say thank you, there still really isn't in my mind a comparable offering to heroku's git push and go straight to a reasonable production I honestly find it a bit nuts, there's offerings that come close, but using them I still get the impression that they've just not put in the time really refining that user interface, so I just wanted to say thank you for the work you and the GP di…
This is a sad day. I used heroku for years (in the past). A few alternatives to consider - https://render.com/ - this is very close to heroku - https://coolify.io/ - My personal favorite. It's slightly more involved, but you can run it on any hardware like hetzner and save a boatload.

Honestly if you're still using Heroku today it's because you haven't really caught up with what's going on around you
What's a better offering that makes it easier to push projects in production?
One of the worst "engineers" I've suffered working with (spent all day on Slack virtue signaling, put on a PIP) went to Heroku. A comment I made was "only a sinking ship would take them/her." This update from Heroku does not surprise me.

I am sure that the guy whose name is on the Post didn't even write this himself. Probably some corporate writer using LLM :).
I would love to see the prompt that led to that word salad
The downfall of Heroku should be studied, they had lightning in a bottle and blew it. Salesforce acquired them and just let it die, baffling.
