Heroku Connect makes it easy to sync data at scale between Salesforce and Heroku Postgres.

Easily configured with a point-and-click UI, you can get the integration up and running in minutes without writing code or worrying about API limits.

This summer, we announced the beta release of our new streaming data connectors between Heroku Postgres and Apache Kafka on Heroku.

But for those who are Postgres-first, it is challenging to adopt without a full app rewrite. Developers want a seamless integration between the two services, and we are delivering it today, at no additional charge, for Heroku Private Spaces and Shield Spaces customers.

Heroku Postgres via PrivateLink Is Now Generally Available

news , Product Management Director, Heroku Data

Today, we're thrilled to announce Heroku Postgres via PrivateLink, a new integration that enables customers to seamlessly and securely connect Heroku Postgres databases in Private Spaces to resources in one or more Amazon VPCs. Heroku Postgres via PrivateLink connections are secure and stable by default because traffic to and from Heroku Postgres stays on the Amazon private network; once a PrivateLink is set up, there is no brittle networking configuration to manage. As always, security and trust are top of mind with everything we do at Heroku.
