As applications become more complex, so do the data requirements to support them. At Heroku we have been working hard on enabling these workloads, while maintaining the same level of abstraction, developer experience, and compliance you’ve come to expect.

Today, we’re excited to announce new, larger Heroku Postgres Plans. These new plans will allow for applications on the Heroku Platform to expand in data size and complexity. The new plans in the Heroku Postgres offering have generous resource allocations, providing the horsepower to power today’s most demanding workloads. These plans come with 768 GB of RAM, 96 Cores and up to 4TB of storage, and are available on the Common Runtime,...

The Xplenty (Integrate.io) platform allows organizations to integrate, process, and prepare data for analytics in the cloud. Xplenty is also available as a Heroku Add-on. Abe Dearmer is the company's COO.

Often, innovation sparks innovation in unforeseen ways. In the early 1950’s, television brought the world an entirely new experience that not only changed people’s daily lives, but also created a unique platform for national culture. One of the most beloved and enduring traditions that emerged on this new national stage was the telethon. A combination of “television” and “marathon,” a telethon is a broadcast fundraising event that lasts for several hours or days and features...

We are excited to announce that we are moving Connection Pooling for Heroku Postgres into GA. Connection Pooling unlocks the ability to use up to 10,000 client connections to a Heroku Postgres Database, without adversely impacting performance on the database. This will unlock more complex and higher scale applications with simpler architectures on the Heroku Platform.

Over the years, one of the factors that you have to consider when scaling applications is pressure on the database. Each connection to the database consumes resources that could be spent on processing requests. The balancing of resources spent on connections and processing is a delicate one that Heroku Engineering has had...

Yarn is a JavaScript package manager that also gives developers a project management toolset and a zero-install deployment solution. Heroku supports Yarn 2, 3, and 4, so developers are able to take advantage of zero-installs during their Node.js builds. We’ll go over a popular use case for Yarn that was enhanced by Yarn 2 and later releases: using workspaces to manage dependencies for a monolithic repository, also known as a multi-package repository or a monorepo.

Our Yarn Workspaces tutorial will cover Yarn monorepo setup and how to take advantage of Yarn’s cache to manage monorepo dependencies. Prerequisites for this include a development environment with Node installed. To follow...

This post previously appeared on the Salesforce Architects blog.

Event-driven application architectures have proven to be effective for implementing enterprise solutions using loosely coupled services that interact by exchanging asynchronous events. Salesforce enables event-driven architectures (EDAs) with Platform Events and Change Data Capture (CDC) events as well as triggers and Apex callouts, which makes the Salesforce Platform a great way to build all of your digital customer experiences. This post is the first in a series that covers various EDA patterns, considerations for using them, and examples deployed on the Salesforce Platform.

Expanding the event-driven architecture of the...
