We’re Hiring!

Thanks to the continued support of the fantastic Ruby community, Heroku is rapidly growing.

We’re determined to keep improving our service for our ever expanding user base, and to that end we’re looking for a few fresh faces to join our world-class team in San Francisco .

First up, we’re hiring our first full-time Heroku Evangelist. This lucky person should have a serious passion for Ruby and cloud computing, along with the enthusiasm and ability to communicate to our audience how Heroku can make their lives easier. There will be lots of presentations to make, conferences…

The best camera is…

We periodically like to highlight some of the great applications people are building on Heroku. This week, a new web site and iPhone app for shutterbugs launched , and it’s getting great press and feedback around the web.

Chase Jarvis , a professional photographer, has been singing the praises of the iPhone camera as creative outlet. As he points out, the best camera is the one you have with you. To back that claim up, he’s launched a new project combining an iPhone application and community website.

Our Travels Continue

In our ongoing efforts to spread the Heroku word worldwide , our North American tour continues with a bunch of new venues coming up.

Each time we meet with people, we’re blown away with the new applications people are creating on Heroku. For example, last month FlightCaster launched an amazing app for predicting flight delays using Heroku, Clojure, S3, Hadoop and some general amazing tech. We’d love to hear from you on what you’re creating, and find out how to make some awesome stuff.

BizConf Bound

Heroku has a special place in our heart for consultants and web development firms. They’re some of our best supporters and users. That’s why were excited to be heading out to BizConf this Thursday and Friday.

From the BizConf website:

It’s simple: energetic, enthused folks who want to learn more about how to actually do business today. This conference won’t consist of get-rich-quick talks or motivational speeches, but rather in-depth presentations, discussions and workshops on how to communicate, manage and network more dynamically and effectively.

Heroku Sass

No, we’re not talking back. Instead, we’re excited to announce that you can now use Sass on Heroku.

We’re big believers in elegance here, and Sass is a way to bring elegance to your CSS and page layout. Due to our read-only filesystem Sass hasn’t worked well on Heroku. Thanks to the efforts of one of our awesome engineers , there’s now a beta plugin available that enables you to use Sass & Heroku frictionlessly.

To use the plugin, install Sass as you normally would – include the HAML gem in your gem manifest.…

Bringing Heroku to the East Coast

With Morten out on the European tour , we didn’t want those here in the US to feel left out. Last week we attended a great BBQ and roundtable with Seattle.rb . Starting next week, we’ll be heading out to the east coast, and want to meet more of you.

Blake Mizerany will be talking with local meetup groups all along the east coast about Heroku, Sinatra, and Ruby development. We’re excited to hear how you’re using Heroku today, and what you’d like to see from us in the future.

We’re…
