Optimizing Enterprise Operations with Heroku’s Advanced Logging Features

Logging is the unsung hero of enterprise operations—quietly saving the day, one log line at a time. Imagine trying to maintain successful applications without knowing what’s happening inside them.

To develop and maintain them properly, your ability to capture, analyze, and act on log data becomes essential. You need good logging for the critical insights to help you: Diagnose and troubleshoot issues Rightsize cloud resources Ensure security In this post, we’ll…

Best Practices for Optimizing Your Enterprise Cloud Applications with New Relic

If your cloud application performs poorly or is unreliable, users will walk away, and your enterprise will suffer. To know what’s going on inside of your million-concurrent-user application (Don’t worry, you’ll get there!), you need observability. Observability gives you the insights you need to understand how your application behaves. As your application and architecture scale up, effective observability becomes increasingly indispensable. Heroku gives you more than just a flexible and developer-friendly platform to run your cloud applications. You also get access to a suite of built-in observability features. Heroku’s core application metrics, alerts, and language-specific runtime metrics offer a comprehensive…

Electron on Heroku

As maintainers of the open source framework Electron, we try to be diligent about the work we take on. Apps like Visual Studio Code, Slack, Notion, or 1Password are built on top of Electron and make use of our unique mix of native code and web technologies to make their users happy. That requires focus: There’s always more work to be done than we have time and resources for. In practice, that means that we don’t want to spend time thinking about the server infrastructure for the project‌ — ‌and we’re grateful for the support we receive from Heroku, where…

If you’ve created a custom buildpack and wish to share it with…

Updated Async Provisioning of Add-ons

Asynchronous provisioning allows add-ons to perform out-of-band provisioning in a first-class way. It’s intended for add-on services that need extended time to set up and help make automated app setup and orchestration easier and less error-prone. The customer will be billed as soon as the add-on starts provisioning. This means the time and cost of provisioning your service is accounted for in how much a customer pays. As such, you should make every effort to provision expediently so customers get value from your service as quickly as possible. Add-ons that take longer than 12 hours to provision (or those your…

Need to quickly catch up on this past quarter's announcements? Here are the top three topics to tune in on: The Platform API for Partners provides many official endpoints that allow you to introspect security settings, discover other customer instances of the same add-on, and much more. With the Platform API, add-ons have an OAuth client secret and a number of OAuth authorizations, one token per provisioned add-on; it is only used to authenticate requests to create the scoped tokens and not used to authenticate other requests to the Platform API. Updated password requirements for the add-on manifest go into…

Updated Platform API for Partners

The Platform API for Partners provides many official endpoints that the App Info API doesn’t support. These endpoints let you introspect security settings, discover other customer instances of the same add-on, and much more. Platform API for Partners endpoints are also more consistent and “better traveled.” Heroku uses these endpoints internally, and customers also use them directly. With the Platform API, add-ons have an OAuth client secret and a number of OAuth authorizations, one token per provisioned add-on. The OAuth client secret is only used to authenticate requests to create the scoped tokens; it is not used to authenticate other…
