Overall Satisfaction with Heroku

Our organization is majorly developing the application by using Node.js and PHP Frameworks. It has very well baked features including auto-deployment, application sleeping, and cost-effective service. Service comes with Free SSL and custom domains which helps customers to satisfy by accessing services within same root domain.

We have deployed several applications using Node.js and it works very well.
  • Supports auto deployment using the GIT version control system
  • Free SSL for custom domains
  • Easy to customize server needs
  • Pipelines help to stage the application
  • Has inbuilt application for accessing and managing the servers from the terminal
  • Add-ons are pretty costly
  • Limited server locations
  • Prices are costly
  • Heroku supports various languages which help us to deploy our various projects by the requirements
  • Heroku helps us to reduce the using and purchasing 3rd party applications for deployment, running CI, staging and monitoring the applications within one place
  • Our developers can focus on other tasks while working and deploying with Heroku because it has inbuilt many features to work and maintain
Heroku has the easy facility to deploy and host applications while others have to configure a lot. The price of the services is high for others. But within Heroku pricing and easy to maintain under the same roof.
DigitalOcean, Google Compute Engine, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
As an all-in-one application service, Heroku is very well suited for everything including, staging, CI Runner, easy deployment, custom domains adding and managing the servers from the native desktop terminal.

Due to its add-on costs and a limited edition of server locations, it seems they need to upgrade their facilities including more server locations like Singapore or India which are near to ours.
