Overall Satisfaction with Heroku

We needed a trusted hosting platform that could scale but wouldn't come down like the other PaaS companies that pop up every day. In my previous role, Heroku was used for multiple applications, from our production application to one off proof of concepts.
  • The UI and admin dashboard made it easy to understand what was going on with each application.
  • Heroku makes it easy to control who has access to your deployment platform.
  • The command-line tool (CLI) is very well made. It makes deployment simple.
  • Our biggest gripe is the hoops we had to jump through in order to see exactly what went wrong during deployments.
  • It helped to make deployment easier which led our development team to push for more experimentation. That return is infinite.
Heroku just makes it easier than the other guys. Our deployment is far less painful.
It's especially great if you'd like to deploy a bot to Slack.
