Last summer, Heroku became a polyglot platform , with official support for Ruby , Node.js , Clojure , Java , Python , and Scala . Building a platform that works equally well for such a wide variety of programming languages was a unique technical design challenge.
siloed products would be a non-scalable design
We knew from the outset that maintaining siloed, language-specific products – a Heroku for Ruby , a Heroku for Node.js , a Heroku for Clojure , and so on – wouldn't be scalable over the long-term.
Instead, we created Cedar : a single,…

Today, the Heroku Postgres team released into beta the new basic plan , $9 / month version of the dev plan .
Accompanying this announcement is the implementation of a 10,000 row limit on the dev plan. This row limit was designed to correspond to the 5mb limit on the existing free shared plan.
Please note that these plans are still beta, and Heroku Postgres has not yet announced a migration schedule from the shared plan. However you can start using these plans today.
Read more about the new plan, and the mechanics of the row…

Six weeks ago we launched into beta the Heroku Postgres dev plan , a postgres 9.1 plan that offers many of the features of our production tier service. Over
3,000 of these dev databases are in active use, and it has been operating
exceptionally well.
When we launched the dev plan, we wrote that the plan would be limited based
on rows rather than physical byte size. Today we are implementing a 10,000 row
limit for the dev plan. This limit was chosen to correspond to the 5mb limit
on the existing, shared database service. Over 98% of the active shared
databases that are…

Heroku learned of and resolved a security vulnerability last week. We want to report this to you, describe how we responded to the incident, and reiterate our commitment to constantly improving the security and integrity of your data and source code.
On Tuesday, June 26, Jonathan Rudenberg notified us about an issue in our Codon build system. The Codon build system is responsible for receiving application code from Git and preparing it for execution on the Aspen and Cedar stacks. This vulnerability exposed a number of sensitive credentials which could be used to obtain data and source code…

The Heroku Cedar stack went public beta last year with a series of blog posts . Since then, over 80,000 developers have deployed over 4.5 million times, to apps written in dozens of different programming languages and frameworks. Today, over 75 percent of Heroku app development activity is on the Cedar stack. Production apps like Banjo, Rapportive, PageLever, do.com, and Project Zebra run on Cedar; some of these serve hundreds of millions or even billions of requests per month.

As of today, the Cedar stack is now in general availability.
Cedar features a streamlined HTTP stack allowing for advanced HTTP capabilities, heroku run for execution of arbitrary one-off dynos , Procfile and the process model for execution of any type of worker process. Most importantly, Cedar is a polyglot platform with official support for Clojure, Java, Node.js, Python, Ruby, and Scala, and extensibility for unlimited others via buildpacks .
The Dev Center team has spent the last few months “Cedar-izing” our developer documentation, so now most articles describe use of Heroku on the Cedar platform.
