One of the great strengths of PostgreSQL is extensibility. Just as the JVM has become more than a way to just run Java—spawning languages such as Clojure and Scala—PostgreSQL has become more than just a home to relational data and the SQL language. Our first officially supported Postgres extension, hstore, enables you to build better apps faster without sacrificing the power, reliability, and flexibility of the underlying PostgreSQL storage engine. By using hstore, you will be able to leverage the flexibility and agility of schema-less data stores in existing environments. Although hstore is a mature, stable solution, it has recently…

The Heroku Toolbelt is a package of the Heroku CLI, Foreman, and Git — all the tools you need to get started using Heroku at the command line. The Toolbelt is available as a native installer for OS X, Windows, and Debian/Ubuntu Linux. The Toolbelt has been available since last fall as part of our polyglot platform. Since then it's matured substantially with a huge amount of user testing, and now even has a shiny new landing page. Ruby developers can continue to use gem install heroku, but developers in other languages (Python, Java, Clojure, etc) will probably prefer not…

We're constantly involved in improving Postgres on behalf of our users. That kind of work includes building new features into our platform like data clips, tracking down bugs uncovered by our users and getting them fixed, and working to bring the needs of our users to the attention of the developer community driving the project forward. Of course, all that pales in comparison to the work the community does every day, and there's no bigger demonstration of that than the major PostgreSQL releases which introduce new features and generally come out once a year. When they do, we build support…

This weekend, join us for a Java Hackathon at the Heroku office in San Francisco. We've decided to kick things off with a contest. To enter, build a creative and/or useful application that enables or manages interactions with customers or potential customers via social media channels. It can be any social media channel, and your app will be judged on how well it fits the contest criteria as well as the quality of your concept and implementation. The overall winner will receive a $500 Amazon gift card and a $500 Heroku credit. Two runners up will win a $100 Heroku…

Heroku users are known for leading jet-setter lifestyles. It's true! Developers with refined, sophisticated tastes git push to the cloud in order to appreciate the finer things of life: foreign cinema, travel to exotic destinations, and focusing on development instead of configuring system infrastructure. So it's only natural that Heroku developers on-the-go reach for Nezumi. Nezumi is a paid 3rd-party iPhone app created by Marshall Huss that allows you to scale dynos, restart apps, and so much more–perfect for when you're away from your computer. Its latest release adds support for Cedar applications, multiple accounts, a revamped console and log…

Data clips are available today in beta as a standard feature on all Heroku Postgres databases. When we share information on the Internet, we do so by sharing URLs. We send URLs for locations, books, videos, and even source code. Until now there hasn't been a convenient way to share data inside a database. That's why we're introducing Data Clips. They are a fast and easy way to unlock the data in your database in the form of a secure URL. Data Clips allow the results of SQL queries on a Heroku Postgres database to be easily shared. Simply create…
