Announcing General Availability of Heroku Shield Connect

Today we are pleased to announce general availability of Heroku Shield Connect, the latest addition to our lineup of Heroku Shield services.

Heroku Shield, announced last year, enabled new capabilities for Dynos, Postgres databases and Private Spaces that make Heroku suitable for high compliance environments such as those that fall under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations. Heroku Shield Connect extends this offering by enabling high performance, fully automated, and bi-directional data synchronization between Salesforce and Heroku Postgres for companies that need to build HIPAA-compliant applications – all in a matter of a few clicks.

With this major enhancement to Heroku Shield, it's now easier than ever to build high compliance applications and services while seamlessly integrating with Salesforce as the system of record for customer data.

Heroku CLI: Completing Autocomplete

The CLI Team at Heroku strives to create a CLI user experience that is intuitive and productive. We had “build CLI autocomplete” in the icebox of our roadmap for many years. But if we were going to ship it, it had to complement the existing CLI experience.
