Overall Satisfaction with Heroku
Heroku is used to host our backend Ruby on Rails API server, our Postgres database, and our Salesforce Connect logic to sync our data to Salesforce.
- Easy deployments
- Variety of quality add-ons
- Good UI/UX
- Autoscaling
- Cost
- Support for React
- Allows my development team to focus on writing new features over deployment logic
- Automatic backups of our data
- Don't need to write custom salesforce code
- Amazon Relational Database Service and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
Heroku is much easier to get setup in and doesn't require strong DevOps knowledge. It's also a lot harder to mess up in.
