Heroku Introduces New Innovations to Expand the Capabilities of Every Salesforce Org

Today’s businesses face a tremendous amount of complexity in tools, data silos, and systems that teams need to navigate to deliver unique and engaging experiences to their customers. Meanwhile developers are only able to spend a fraction of their time coding due to the cognitive load of technology complexity, constant context switching, and figuring out how to adopt AI effectively into their daily work.

The Heroku AI PaaS is the Cloud Native Application Platform from Salesforce to seamlessly build and scale any custom service for greenfield app development, modernizing existing apps, and as part of a Salesforce cloud implementation.

At Dreamforce, we are excited to introduce new innovations to our AI PaaS that expand the capabilities of every Salesforce org and empower new builders. Today’s announcement includes innovations in three key areas:

  1. Expanding the capabilities of every Salesforce org with the flexibility of more pro-code and elastic compute with enterprise performance, scale and security enhancements.
  2. Enhancing and expanding the data foundation to empower our customers’ modern and AI app strategies.
  3. Delivering new vibes using AI to make the process of building new applications as accessible as sending a text message.
