Heroku

"The cloud made everything boring. But it's back! We're back, baby!" That's Austin Parker, Director of Open Source at Honeycomb and a member of the OpenTelemetry governance committee, on the latest episode of Code[ish]. Austin has been writing code since childhood. His take on the current moment: most people are simultaneously overestimating what AI can do today and underestimating where it'll be in ten years. In practice, that means the next big leap probably isn't another model improvement. It's us getting better at integrating smarter software harnesses, designing agents more deliberately, and matching the right model to the right task. That framing is a useful counterweight to an industry that tends to swing between hype and dismissal. Listen to Code[ish] now: https://sforce.co/4dda8RQ #Heroku #AgenticAI #Codeish

Our latest Code[ish] guest, Bart Farrell, believes there’s a responsibility to help others in the cloud native community. Listen to the latest episode of Code[ish], where Bart Farrell and hosts Julián Duque and Yadin Porter de León discuss writing the Kubernetes World ebook and the importance of teaching others. https://sforce.co/4v2uTq8 #Codeish #Podcast #Developer

Cloud native development has a steep learning curve, and that’s just one of the reasons that the Kubernetes World ebook was written. In this episode of the Code[ish] podcast, we take a look at the thought processes behind writing this book with hosts Julián Duque, Yadin Porter de León, and special guest Bart Farrell.

The Heroku CLI has been upgraded to v11. This release is a complete technical modernization, replacing the previous architecture with an ESM-first foundation and #oclif v4. This release provides a more stable and performant base for the #CLI as the #JavaScript ecosystem evolves. It includes faster command loading and execution, a new semantic color system for terminal output, faster command discovery, and consolidated data maintenance commands under a unified namespace. See what’s changed and how to upgrade: https://sforce.co/4mc9N4L

One fix. Universal benefit. 🚀 When Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNB) solves a problem for Heroku, the entire ecosystem gets the same battle-tested solution. CNB maintainer Juan Bustamante explains how upstream collaboration accelerates innovation for everyone. By shifting fixes for security, observability, and compliance directly into the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) projects, we ensure progress is shared, not siloed. See how the "invisible" work of maintainers powers the cloud: https://sforce.co/4lQWiY4

We’re doubling the default slug size on #Heroku. 🚀 To reduce deployment friction for modern stacks, we’ve increased the default maximum compressed slug size from 500MB to 1GB and extended build compile timeouts across the board. What this means for you: ✅ Less time spent on aggressive slug optimization. ✅ Fewer failed builds due to timeout constraints. ✅ More flexibility for modern, data-rich stacks. Deploy larger, build longer, and keep your focus on the code. Full details on the update: https://sforce.co/4t41URj #DevOps #CloudComputing

The best infrastructure is the kind you never have to think about. Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNB) maintainer Juan Bustamante takes us behind the scenes of the "invisible" work that keeps modern platforms running. From shipping 27 releases in 14 months to delivering critical security patches within days, this is how upstream maintainership protects the entire ecosystem. At Heroku, our history with buildpacks runs deep. We’re proud to continue supporting the work of maintainers who ensure these standards remain battle-tested for everyone, from Google Cloud to VMware Tanzu and the broader Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) community.

From "Why is it slow?" to "Fixed it" in minutes. 🛠️ Troubleshooting shouldn't feel like a scavenger hunt. The latest SolarWinds Papertrail add-on for Heroku allows you to view log streams directly beneath your metrics. Imagine seeing a latency spike and immediately identifying the specific Dyno worker outputting "Out of Memory" (R14) errors in the same window. No toggling, no time-syncing issues, just instant correlation. Check out the streamlined full-stack visibility: https://sforce.co/4sBlFze #CloudComputing #Observability #Papertrail

As the devastating wildfires unfolded in Los Angeles last year, access to up-to-date information became a potentially life-or-death situation. For more than 10 million people, Watch Duty was that vital source of real-time updates. The nonprofit’s Cofounder and CTO, Dave Merritt, joined us on Code[ish] this week to explain how Watch Duty works and the technologies like Heroku that make it possible.
