This week , Heroku made Router 2.0 generally available, bringing features like HTTP/2 , performance improvements and reliability enhancements out of the beta program !
Throughout the Router 2.0 beta, our engineering team has addressed several bugs, all fairly straight-forward with one exception involving Puma -based applications. A small subset of Puma applications would experience increased response times upon enabling the Router 2.0 flag, reflected in customers’ Heroku dashboards and router logs. After thorough router investigation and peeling back Puma’s server code, we realized what we had stumbled upon was not actually a Router 2.0 performance issue.…

Heroku is a powerful general-purpose PaaS offering, but when combined with the broader Salesforce portfolio, it excels in unlocking and unifying customer data, regardless of its age, location, size, or structure. One of the key reasons why Salesforce customers turn to Heroku is when they require such data to be securely linked to high-scale experiences, such as consumer web or mobile apps, or when they need scalable compute resources to access and analyze more intricate and complex data in real time. In this blog, we’ll explore how to supercharge Agentforce by leveraging one of the ways in which the…

When building web applications, unit testing your individual components is certainly important. However, end-to-end testing provides assurance that the final user experience of your components chained together matches the expected behavior. Testing web application behavior locally in your browser can be helpful, but this approach isn’t efficient or reliable, especially as your application grows more complex.
Ideally, end-to-end tests in your browser are automated and integrated into your CI pipeline. Every time you commit a code change, your tests will run. Passing tests gives you the confidence that the application — as your end users experience it —…

Compliance Is Possible with the Right Provider
Because today’s companies operate in the cloud, they can reach a global audience with ease. At any given moment, you could have customers from Indiana, Indonesia, and Ireland using your services or purchasing your products. With such a widespread customer base, your business data will inevitably cross borders. What does this mean for data privacy, protection, and compliance?
If your company deals with customers on a global — or at the very least, multi-national — scale, then understanding the concept of data residency is essential. Data residency deals…

Modern applications have an unceasing buzz of user activity and data flows. Users send a flurry of one-click reactions to social media posts. Wearable tech and other IoT sensors work nonstop to transmit event data from their environments. Meanwhile, customers on e-commerce sites perform shopping cart actions or product searches which can bring immediate impact to operations. Today’s software organizations need the ability to process and respond to this rich stream of real-time data.
That’s why they adopt an event-driven architecture (EDA) for their applications.
Long gone are the days of monolithic applications with components tightly coupled…

The Heroku Node.js buildpack now supports pnpm , an alternative dependency manager. Early Node.js application owners who've taken advantage of pnpm support have seen 10-40% faster install times compared to NPM on Heroku deployments. It’s an excellent choice for managing packages in the Node.js ecosystem because it:
Minimizes disk space with its content-addressable package store. Speeds up installation by weaving together the resolve, fetch, and linking stages of dependency installation.
This post will introduce you to some of the benefits of the pnpm package manager and walk you through creating and deploying a sample…
