We are happy to announce the general availability of Automated Certificate Management (ACM) for all paid Heroku dynos. With ACM, the cumbersome and costly process of provisioning and managing SSL certificates is replaced with a simple experience that is free for all paid Dynos on Heroku’s Common Runtime. Creating secure web applications has never been more important, and with ACM and the Let’s Encrypt project, never easier.

ACM handles all aspects of SSL/TLS certificates …

UPDATE: As of July 31, 2023, Salesforce no longer offers the Object Detection and Image Classification APIs. This means those APIs are no longer available. As a result, the demo app and the Einstein Vision add-on are no longer available.

The most innovative apps augment our human senses, intuition, and logic with machine learning. Deep learning, modelled after the neural networks of the human brain, continues to grow as one of the most powerful types of machine learning. When applied to images, deep learning enables powerful computer vision features like visual search, product identification, and brand detection.

Today, we bring you the Einstein Vision add-on (beta), allowing Heroku developers to easily connect to and use Einstein Vision, a set of powerful new APIs for building AI-powered apps. With this release, Salesforce is making it easy for you to embed image recognition directly into your apps. Rather than building and managing the specialized infrastructure needed to host deep learning models, simply connect to Einstein Vision’s HTTP/REST API for custom image recognition with little development overhead.

Choices are an important part of a healthy open source software community.

Your Ruby version is <X>, but your Gemfile specified <Y>

I wanted to talk about why you might get this error while deploying to Heroku, and what you can do about it, along with some bonus features provided by the new Bundler version.

Why?

First off, …

As part of our commitment to security and support, we periodically upgrade the stack image, so that we can install updated package versions, address security vulnerabilities, and add new packages to the stack. Recently we had an incident during which some applications running on the Cedar-14 stack image experienced higher than normal rates of segmentation faults and other “hard” crashes for about five hours. Our engineers tracked down the cause of the error to …

Today we’re happy to announce that the Sydney, Australia region is now generally available for use with Heroku Private Spaces. Sydney joins Virginia, Oregon, Frankfurt, and Tokyo as regions where Private Spaces can be created by any Heroku Enterprise user. Developers can now deploy Heroku apps closer to customers in the Asia-Pacific area to reduce latency and take advantage of the advanced network & trust controls of Spaces to ensure sensitive data stays protected.
