Heroku Webhooks: Powering New Integrations and Real-time Notifications

We're happy to announce that Heroku app webhooks is now generally available for all Heroku customers.

App webhooks provide notifications when your Heroku app changes, including modifications to domain settings, releases, add-ons, and dyno formations. These notifications can empower your internal communications, dashboards, bots or anything else that can receive HTTP POST requests. Integrating with Heroku webhooks provides easy support for driving custom workflows and 3rd party tools.

Creating webhooks

With the webhooks CLI plugin, you can subscribe to events with a single command.

FY18 Q2 recap: Heroku Continuous Integration GA & Ephemeral Apps

Need to quickly catch up on this past quarter's announcements? Here are the top three topics to tune in on:

Heroku announced the general availability of continuous integration (CI) on May 18, 2017. This new feature creates copies of staging apps to run tests, then destroys the app and its add-ons. With Heroku CI, you will see an increase in the number of default ephemeral plan resources regularly provisioned on Heroku review and CI apps. Previously, these apps used the add-on plan configured for staging.

As developers adopt CI/CD workflows, temporary deployments are becoming increasingly…

Announcing Platform API for Partners

Heroku has always made it easy for you to extend your apps with add-ons. Starting today, partners can access the Platform API to build a more secure and cohesive developer experience between add-ons and Heroku.

Advancing the Add-on User Experience

Several add-ons are already using the new Platform API for Partners. Adept Scale , a long-time add-on in our marketplace that provides automated scaling of Heroku dynos, has updated its integration to offer a stronger security stance, with properly scoped access to each app it is added to. Existing customer integrations have been updated as…

How Emarsys Approaches Service Sizing on Heroku

Based in Budapest, Hungary, Andras Fincza (Head of Engineering) and Rafael Ördög (Technical Lead) work for Emarsys , a global marketing automation platform. Read our Emarsys customer story to learn more about their migration experience on Heroku.

How did you introduce microservices at Emarsys?

We take an evolutionary approach to our architecture. Our marketing automation platform was originally designed as a monolithic system built in PHP and MySQL and running on in-house infrastructure. We were running two major services on our in-house infrastructure: one for HDS (historical data service) and the other for…

Ruby 2.0 Preview Available on Heroku

When Heroku first launched you could only use one version of Ruby: 1.8.6. As the Ruby implementation matured and improved, so did Heroku. We recently announced the ability to specify your ruby version on Heroku , and we are happy to announce the first preview-build of Ruby available: starting today you can use Ruby 2.0 preview1 on Heroku.

Ruby 2.0

The Ruby core team has been hard at work on Ruby 2.0, which has a host of new features and boasts performance improvements. You can get a list of the major new features on the…

Sunsetting the Argent Aspen Stack

Heroku's Aspen stack is the product that launched our company and inspired a new class of cloud services. After much deliberation and careful thought, we have decided to sunset the Aspen stack by Thursday, November 22nd . We ask application owners still using Aspen to migrate to Cedar .

Since Aspen's launch over four years ago, Rails has seen the introduction of Bundler for dependency management, the asset pipeline, and a major framework re-write. Heroku has also grown, and with the introduction of the Cedar stack, we have moved beyond our humble origins and have become a true…

Nezumi 2.0 for Managing Heroku Apps ‘on-the-go’ Now Available for iPhone

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,…

Heroku Scheduler Add-on Now Available

Today we're happy to announce the availability of Heroku Scheduler . Scheduler is an add-on for running administrative or maintenance tasks, or jobs, at scheduled time intervals. It's the polyglot replacement of the Cron add-on, with more power and flexibility. And it's free; you just pay for the dyno time consumed by the one-off tasks .

A dashboard allows you to configure jobs to run every 10 minutes, every hour, or every day, and unlike the Cron add-on, you can control when. E.g. Every hour on the half-hour, or every day at 7:00am.

Polyglot…

Deployment That Just Works

Last week I talked a bit about why instant deployment matters . A few people have since commented that it’s not instant deployment that matters to them, but rather deployment that just works every time.

Of course, what we’re really talking about is both. Part of achieving deployment that just works is decreasing complexity and removing steps – each a point of possible failure. We are working toward deployment that’s both instant and completely reliable, because we think those things are tightly linked.

We’ve rolled out some new content today explaining more about how our platform works , including some more detailed…

Build a News Site With Rubyflow

Ruby journalist extraordinaire, Peter Cooper, is a busy man. Chances are you’re already following his work to bring you the latest Ruby news on sites such as Ruby Inside and RubyFlow . Late last year he even added a tremendously useful site oriented towards iPhone and iPod Touch development called Mobile Orchard. Somewhere along the line he was also generous enough to leak the source code for Rubyflow, and now a version of that is available through Sutto’s Github repository .That’s great news for anyone looking to start their own news site, especially since it’s a breeze to get…
