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…

The new add-ons canary service will attempt to provision and deprovision your add-on service on an app named 'addons-canary'.

Apps are at the heart of modern businesses, and are important assets that need a secure platform geared for compliance and security. We launched Heroku Enterprise earlier this year with this in mind and today we are excited to announce the beta of Heroku Identity Federation for Heroku Enterprise customers. This feature unifies the login experience across Salesforce's new App Cloud that we announced today.

As customers like Forever Living, TV4 and Macy’s run more of their apps and business-critical services on Heroku, they need tighter integration with their existing security infrastructure. With our new identity federation feature,…

We’re very happy to deliver this feature that many of our largest customers have requested.

“Enterprises need greater visibility around applications and scalability, and Heroku Enterprise adds those features to the core Heroku value proposition,” said Matthew Francis,…
