Earlier this month, PostgreSQL 10.0 was released. Today, we are excited to announce PostgreSQL 10 is available in beta on Heroku, bringing a number of notable feature and performance improvements to our managed PostgreSQL database service.

The beta provides customers who want to try out the new release an easy way to do so, while customers who are happy with the current version can continue to stay on version 9.6 until we make version 10 generally available. Also, new databases will continue to default to version 9.6 until we release version 10 to GA.

In the last few years Docker has emerged as a de facto standard for packaging apps for deployment. Today, Heroku Container Registry and Runtime is generally available, allowing you to deploy your Docker images directly to Heroku.

With Container Registry, you get all of the benefits of Docker -- a great local development experience and flexibility to create your own stack -- with the benefits of running on Heroku: maintained infrastructure, container orchestration, routing, the leading add-ons ecosystem, and a world-class security & operations team.

To deploy your Docker image to Heroku, simply run one command in the directory of your Dockerfile:

$ heroku container:push web ===...

Pushing an app to the cloud can feel like launching a probe into space. Once your project is thousands of miles away you can't bang on it with a hammer or replace broken parts when there's a problem. Your debugging efforts must rely on the instrumentation, telemetry, and remote controls included with the app when it was deployed. On Heroku, we've gladly done some of that prep work for you.

Two new Heroku features, Heroku Exec and Language Runtime Metrics, improve your production monitoring, inspecting, and debugging experience on the platform. With Heroku Exec, you can create secure TCP and SSH tunnels into a dyno, which facilitate SSH sessions, port forwarding, remote...

We’ve all been there -- you push your code to production and a leak causes memory usage to grow out of control. To determine the root cause of the problem, you need to be able to monitor, inspect, and debug the production application, collecting detailed data at runtime.

Today we’re making it even easier to debug your applications on Heroku, with the general availability of Language Runtime Metrics, starting with JVM languages, and Heroku Exec. Language metrics surfaces key indicators of an issue, like garbage collection activity, and heap and non-heap memory usage, on a unified timeline in the Heroku Dashboard.

After you’ve identified an issue, you can use Exec to connect to a dyno at...

We are excited to announce the Dublin region for Heroku Private Spaces is now generally available for Heroku Enterprise customers. Dublin joins the growing list of regions that Private Spaces supports: Sydney, Virginia, Oregon, Frankfurt, and Tokyo. With the Private Spaces Dublin region, organizations can build and deploy Heroku-style apps closer to their UK customers, reducing network latency and providing a better user experience.

Heroku Private Spaces, available as part of Heroku Enterprise, is a network isolated group of apps and data services with a dedicated runtime environment, provisioned by Heroku in a geographic region you specify. With Spaces you can build modern apps with the...
