I just got some Heroku socks like two months ago at an event, they must've killed it at the start of the year. Weird.

Spinning up temporary VMs/stateful machines is going to be super valuable in the next year or 2. Heroku not jumping on this just shows the state of Salesforce. Absolutely inept. I foresee slack going down a similar path of enshittification

Thanks for reminding me that slack is owned by Salesforce. What are we going to use when slack turns to shit, IRC again maybe?

You gotta fix the home page. I'm not sitting through a movie trailer to find out how your chat app works.

haha we actually launched it today. Point taken though! It's not a video though just an interactive widget. Instead of scrolling you press enter. Once we launch I'm sure we'll have something more traditional

This blog post is peak comedy. Heroku is half abandoned, I expected the post to be something like "we're sunsetting Heroku" before clicking and what we get instead is about AI.

As someone that migrated off of Heroku back in 2023 for a monitoring start-up - why were you still on Heroku?!

All I’m going to say is if your press release is titled “an update on heroku” instead if something exciting it means you aren’t delivering happy news that is good for the user.

I bet I’m right. Haven’t read the article or comments, I’m just posting this comment to see if I’m proven right or wrong.

Who cares about heroku in 2026? It’s a dead horse
