Heroku Postgres is one of the world's largest managed data stores. Our customers rely on Heroku Postgres to store valuable data, which powers a range of experiences and services they build on Heroku. Salesforce Data Cloud integrates all your company's data into the Einstein 1 Platform, creating a comprehensive customer view for personalized engagements, analytics, and AI.

When businesses bring data from Heroku Postgres into Salesforce Data Cloud to create unified customer profiles, they can deliver highly personalized user experiences and give them a competitive advantage.

Today, we‘re excited to announce the launch of the Heroku Postgres Connector, now part of the Salesforce...

One of our most important goals at Heroku is to be boring. Don’t get us wrong, we certainly hope that you’re excited about the Heroku developer experience — as heavy users of Heroku ourselves, we certainly are! But, even more so, we hope that you don’t have to spend all that much time thinking about Heroku. We want you to be able to spend your time thinking about the awesome, mission-critical things you’re building with Heroku, rather than worrying about the security, reliability, or performance of the underlying infrastructure they run on.

Introduction:

We’re excited to announce public beta support for HTTP/2 on both Heroku Common Runtime and Private Spaces. HTTP/2 support is one of the most requested and desired improvements for the Heroku platform. HTTP/2 is significantly faster than HTTP 1.1 by introducing features like multiplexing and header compression to reduce latency and therefore improve the end-user experience of Heroku apps.

Since 2023, we’ve been working on a large platform modernization of our Common Runtime router. This project will allow us to start delivering more modern networking for Heroku. With the majority of that work now complete, we’re excited to focus more on the future and new features.

What...

If you’re an API developer working with Node.js, then you’re probably familiar with Express. But have you tried out the Fastify framework to build with power, speed, and convenience? In this walkthrough, we build a full-featured, easy-to-consume API with Fastify. And we deploy it to the cloud with ease. We show you how to:

• Get started working with Fastify to build an API
• Implement API authentication by using a JSON web token (JWT)
• Use Fastify’s Swagger plugins to generate an OpenAPI specification
• Consume the OpenAPI specification with Postman, giving you an API client that can send requests seamlessly to your back-end API
• Deploy your application to Heroku

For developers and businesses offering a web-based product, automated browser testing is a critical tool to ensure continuous delivery of a reliable service. Developers write browser tests by scripting actions against a real browser, simulating real usage by navigating, selecting, and making assertions about web pages and their document elements.

In this post, we introduce a new community buildpack that helps with automated browser testing. The new buildpack resolves installation reliability problems in the existing Chrome browser buildpacks for Heroku apps.
