Last night, we threw our first-ever Heroku Users Group meetup, and it was a hit! Fifty Heroku users, add-on developers, entrepreneurs, and more gathered at our new office to get to know the Heroku team and swap stories with each other. We heard about some of the remarkable applications people are building on the platform, and we’re very excited to publicize those more — at future HUGs, in our newsletter, and here on the blog. For this first meetup, though, we decided to open the curtains around Heroku’s inner workings a bit. Adam gave a great talk about five new…

A few weeks ago, we announced our first-ever Heroku Users Group (known henceforth and forever more as a HUG, showing just how much we love our developers!) meetup. We’re now a week away, and we thought it’d be a good time to go into a little more detail about the plan. On November 3rd at 7pm, we’re opening the doors to anyone who uses Heroku – developers who deploy to us, businesses built on our platform, add-on providers who create and manage services for our users, and more. We’re eager to get everyone in the same room, and we’re looking…

Tuesday was not a good day for Heroku and as a result it was not a good day for our customers. I want to take the time to explain what happened, how we addressed the problem, and what we’re doing in the future to keep it from happening again. Over the past few weeks we have seen unprecedented growth in the rate of new applications being added to the platform. This growth has exacerbated a problem with our internal messaging systems that we’ve known about and been working to address. Unfortunately, the projects that we have underway to address the…

It’s no secret that Heroku’s getting pretty big. Heck, we advertise the number of apps running on the platform right there on the homepage (over 88,000, when I last looked). We’ve got tens of thousands of developers, and you all have been doing some amazing work — the success stories we’ve posted are only the tip of the iceberg. With that in mind, we thought it was high time we started to get all of you together. So, on November 3rd, we’re going to hold the first official Heroku Users Group meeting. Join us at our office at 7pm to…

UPDATE: Node.JS is now officially available on Heroku. In April we released experimental support for Node.js. Response was instant and overwhelming. Now, nearly 1,000 people are using Node.js on Heroku. The goal of the experiment was to understand what it would take to run Node.js in the most Heroku way possible. The experiment was extremely successful. People have built great apps, provided feedback, and engaged in ways beyond our expectations. Three of the key requests we’ve heard are: Support for long connections, beyond a 30 second timeout HTTP 1.1 and websockets Scaling Node.js as easily as Ruby While we work…

This morning we are very excited to announce our new Add-on Provider Program, which allows anyone to easily build a Heroku add-on, making it available to all Heroku developers and customers to purchase with one click. We first launched add-ons almost a year ago. Since then, they have been hugely successful, many add-ons being purchased thousands of times. Hundreds of cloud service providers have contacted us wanting to build their own add-ons. We’ve spent the past nine months iterating with add-on providers to create an API that’s easy to use and easy to get started with. We’re excited to release…
