About Heroku

Heroku is a cloud platform that lets companies build, deliver, monitor and scale apps — we're the fastest way to go from idea to URL, bypassing all those infrastructure headaches. “There’s an app for that” – only a few years ago a catchy marketing campaign introduced the world to a new relationship with the mobile phone. Now, apps have become a way of life for most of us. Whether mobile or web, apps and their underlying APIs are how we manage our lives, make purchases, socialize, stay informed, and interact with customers. An app starts impacting the world when customers start interacting with it. Getting apps out in the wild, out onto the Internet quickly, and iterating, fast, is what can make or break companies. Heroku focuses relentlessly on apps and the developer experience around apps. Heroku lets companies of all sizes embrace the value of apps, not the distraction of hardware, nor the distraction of servers - virtual or otherwise.

    "Heroku - Review"

    Posted 2021-01-20

    Pros: You can say Heroku is the easiest cloud platform to learn and master. Also it is very much easy to implement. It is so simple that if you even have some basic knowledge of Git and Github you can easily master this technology. You can log the errors. And you can deploy your different project in this.

    Cons: There is no con in using this product. This works fine for me.

    Overall: Overall a great tool to host your web app with high security at very reasonable cost. Easy to implement and lot of tutorials and documentation which make it much more easy to use.

    Overall: Overall a great experience. You can create up to 5 apps for free in this. And also, managing and maintaining apps with this is pretty much easy. And also, it is very easy to use just 3 git commands to host your app.

    "Best web app hosting solution"

    Posted 2020-11-12

    Pros: Online and offline log support
    Terminal Support
    Easy to use - Same as git
    Powerful and reliable
    Secure

    Cons: You need to know the basic of Heroku to start and what is Procfile and other stuff.

    Overall: I have hosted all my dynamic sites on Heroku. On free tier you can host up to 5 projects and the log and the terminal support on the web helps more to find the issues and fix them.

    "Great for quickly spinning up an app, to get some user feedback"

    Posted 2020-08-17

    Pros: Whether you're at a hackathon or just quickly prototyping a new app for your company, chances are high you want real users to be able to try your app. You could just host it on a localhost, but that means you can't direct people to a proper URL. Heroku allows you to do that.

    Cons: I first heard of Heroku back in 2015 and a few years later I swear I heard it was shutting down? But apparently it's still usable, so I'm not sure what exactly was going on. Company communications can be better, in this regard.

    Overall: One of my favorite go-tos when creating an app at a hackathon or making a quick demo prototype. Saves the trouble of registering a domain name and all.
