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

chatgpt translation: Heroku isn’t shutting down, but they’re basically done building new stuff. For those who want to move and potentially save $ in process, here is a nice cost comparison: https://infraslash.com/costs/

This is such a weird press release that totally obscures what it's trying to say. Just use clear and concise language and treat your customers like adults.

Was this written by llm?

more like herok-who?

One wonders about the damage caused by putting this vague mess of a post out vs not.

Also feel like many are still trying to recreate the Heroku experience all these years laters tbh

It's nice that they would admit this, but it seems a little strange that they would. Why not just never add new features and let people figure it out on their own? A big statement like this seems more like implicitly killing the platform, which is what they say they aren't doing.

I guess the best way to interpret this is that they are killing the platform over time but they don't want to kill it right now since money is still coming in and it would make too many customers mad.

>> “ we want to be clear about what this means for customers.”

Nope, not clear.

This is a clear message “ the heroku product is cancelled but will not be shut down, will continue to operate exactly as before but no new features will be added.”
