In that time, cloud-native has become the default for all new applications, and technologies like Kubernetes are widespread. Best-practices for software have evolved, and we believe that Twelve-Factor also needs to evolve — this time with you, the community. Originally, the Twelve-Factor manifesto focused on building deployable applications without thinking about deployment, and while its core concepts are still remarkably relevant, the examples are another story. Industry practices have evolved considerably and many of the…

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…
