All successful applications grow more complex over time, and that complexity creates challenges in development. There are two essential strategies to manage this problem: a team can keep everything together (create a monolith) or a team can divide a project into smaller pieces (create microservices).
The monolith at its most extreme is a single code base that contains all of an application’s logic and to which all programmers involved contribute. This approach is perhaps the …

Last week, a security fix was released for Git. The fix patches a bug in the Git client that is exploitable on operating systems with case insensitive file systems such as Windows and OS X.
Heroku has updated the Git installer that we ship with Toolbelt for Windows. We have also removed an old Git version from the OS X installer (it was not generally used).
In addition, we’ve added a Git version warning in …

Since day one, developers from all over the world have been deploying apps on Heroku, and we’re extremely proud of the strong global community we’ve built. Our European customers in particular have asked for the ability to deploy applications geographically close to their European customer base so they can offer a better user experience with more responsive apps. In 2013 we launched 1X and 2X dynos in Europe to meet this demand. Today we’re pleased …

Helping teams to collaborate on creating, shipping and operating great apps is a core Heroku value. People collaborating on Heroku apps are not all alike: Some spend all day in the terminal, others prefer using Heroku from a browser. That’s why we’ve built both a powerful CLI and a great Dashboard.
Today, we’re adding beta support for Dropbox Sync to complement Git-based deployments. By adding Dropbox as a way to sync changes, we’re making …

We’re very excited that our Heroku colleagues Matz, Nobu and Ko1 will all be visiting from Japan soon to attend RubyConf, and it’s especially serendipitous that it is happening in such close proximity to Thanksgiving. Not only is Thanksgiving one of the few holidays that Japan and the U.S. share, it’s a holiday that brings families together to reflect on what’s been accomplished, and to share insight into the future. We've been waiting for just …

Of the many Platform-as-a-Service innovations Heroku has contributed in its seven year existence, perhaps the most iconic is git push heroku master. Today we’re announcing a significant upgrade to Heroku’s Git implementation: Beta support for Git’s HTTP transport.
HTTP Git has some notable advantages over traditional SSH Git. Instead of relying on port 22 (often blocked by firewalls) HTTP Git runs on port 443, the same port used for secure web requests.
Also, HTTP Git …
