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.

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.

Add-on Controls for Heroku Teams

Introduction

Heroku is excited to introduce nine new dyno types to our fleets and product offerings. In 2014, we introduced Performance-tier dynos, giving our customers fully dedicated resources to run their most compute-intensive workloads. Now in 2024, today's standards are rapidly increasing as complex applications and growing data volumes consume more memory and carry heavier CPU loads.

With these additional dyno types, we’re excited to enable new use cases on Heroku with enhanced compute and memory specifications. Some use case examples include real-time processing against big data/real-time analytics, large in-memory cache applications such as Apache Spark or Hadoop...


Today, we're pleased to introduce a security feature addition for Heroku pay-as-you-go customers: Single Sign-On (SSO). SSO makes it easy to centralize and manage access to all the various tools and services used by your employees. Previously, SSO was only available for Heroku Enterprise. SSO improves the employee experience in several ways. You can use any identity provider (IdP) with built-in SSO support for Heroku, or custom authentication solutions that support the SAML 2.0 standard.
