Over a year ago we began working with the community as to how we could help to make Postgres better. Much of this came to fruition with PostgreSQL version 9.2 and three months ago we released support of Postgres 9.2 into GA. We've now seen many users begin taking advantage of the powerful features in this version including:
Better visibility with pg_stat_statements URL support JSON datatype and more

They cost $0.05/hr. 2X dynos are exactly what their name implies: 1GB of memory and twice the CPU share for $0.10/hr. To support the growth of current and future apps on the platform, you can now control your dyno resources on two axes: size and quantity.
Let’s try…

This resulted in a period of database unavailability, typically with a duration of less than one minute. Every database running on Heroku Postgres is now appropriately patched…

Hi. I'm Adam Wiggins, cofounder and CTO of Heroku.
Heroku has been my life’s work. Millions of apps depend on us, and I take that responsibility very personally.
Recently, Heroku has faced criticism from the hacker community about how our HTTP router works, and about web performance on the platform in general. I’ve read all the public discussions, and have spent a lot of time over the past month talking with our customers about this subject.
The concerns I've heard from you span past, present, and future.
The past: some customers have hit serious problems…

Heroku has a strong tradition with open source projects. Engineers have dedicated countless hours to the projects that developers count on every day. Open Source Software is in our DNA.
Speaking personally, I’m passionate about building tools like AFNetworking and cupertino , in order to help developers build insanely great experiences for mobile devices. It’s with great pleasure that I introduce something new I’ve been working on:
Helios is an open-source framework that provides essential back-end services for iOS apps. This includes data synchronization, push notifications, in-app purchases, and passbook integration. It allows developers to get a…
