Webhooks are a more secure, reliable, and powerful alternative to Deploy Hooks, and five years ago, we made app webhooks Generally Available. Today, we are deprecating Deploy Hooks and encouraging customers to migrate to app webhooks.

I started as Heroku GM a few weeks ago with intense enthusiasm to be a part of such a storied team. As you might expect, the last few weeks have not been what I would have imagined. But, contrary to what you might expect, I’m energized.
I’ve been deeply impressed by the skills and dedication of the Heroku team, and the commitment of Salesforce to Trust as our #1 value. I’m also energized because it is clear that the Heroku team does not stand alone inside Salesforce. To respond to this incident, Salesforce colleagues from around the company have augmented …

We launched Salesforce Functions last fall and the response so far has been terrific. While the most obvious use cases for functions are stateless processing of data, there are many examples of business processes that can take advantage of the simplified operating model of functions, but require some persistent state to span function invocations.
Today, we’re happy to tell you that we’ve added a new feature that enables stateful function invocation using Heroku Data products. It’s a simple feature that lets your functions securely access Heroku Data products, including Heroku Postgres, Heroku Kafka, and Heroku Redis directly from your function.

At Salesforce, we strive to balance the security of your data and apps with an efficient and enjoyable user experience. Last year, we shortened login sessions for the Heroku Dashboard to 12 hours to improve security. Starting today, users can stay logged in for up to 24 hours. Even better, if you have multi-factor authentication (MFA) enabled and use the Heroku Dashboard daily, your session can be extended up to 10 days before you need to log in again. If you are idle on the Dashboard for more than 24 hours, you must re-authenticate. SSO-enabled users were not impacted by …

Since April 2021, the Heroku Runtime team has been working to deploy upgrades to the infrastructure powering Common Runtime apps, and we’re excited to formally announce the performance improvements that customers are already seeing.
When this Changelog post was published in May introducing the changes, almost all Common Runtime apps had been migrated from what we internally called the “classic“ infrastructure to the new “sharded” architecture. In addition to performance enhancements, this migration is expected to result in lower latency across the platform.
Around 99.9% of customers didn’t have to make any changes to their Heroku apps to benefit from …

Today, we’re thrilled to announce backups of Heroku Postgres are now 40x faster by leveraging Snapshots in place of base backups. We’ve been hard at work focused on improving performance, speed, and capacity for the Heroku Data services you rely on. In the past forks and follows of a Premium-8 test database with 992 GB of data took 22 hours; now with Snapshots, the same process is reduced to 10 minutes. This makes the creation of forks and followers, and restoring the database, faster than ever, at no additional charge.
The New Way: Snapshots for Heroku Data
In November 2020 …
