Examples of recent Runtime engineering work at Heroku

• Better orchestration and config management: growing out of our early Terraform usage into a robust system leveraging Terraform Cloud to manage the deployment pipeline of Heroku’s backing Runtime services across several shards.
• Component modernization: building the next version of our router
• Researching and learning: using our Kubernetes orchestration backend for our internal Runtime API as part of a larger effort to build the next generation of our runtime
• Infrastructure improvements: transitioned our use of K8s from self-managed to managed by integrating EKS and implemented a new authentication scheme to integrate our container registry with EKS.
• Expansion and Growth: expanding our Private Spaces and Common Runtime products into new regions to give customers more options about where their applications are deployed.
• Core infrastructure scaling and growth: broke up a critical, monolithic Ruby application that performs many container scheduling tasks and refactored it as a set of well scoped gRPC Go services.
