Stratis Global is a cloud development consultancy with a product-first mindset. Unlike traditional service providers that focus solely on project delivery, Stratis approaches each engagement like a product team, prioritizing the user experience and design, scaling beyond performance to include multi-tenancy, long-term value that includes intellectual property rights, and real-world innovation like their Agentforce Accelerator. As a trusted Salesforce partner and Independent Software Vendor (ISV), they build and publish software solutions on the Salesforce Platform, extending core functionality through secure, scalable solutions powered by Heroku. Working with both enterprises and SaaS companies, they focus on .NET-based Heroku apps that power mobile ordering, in-store kiosks, real-time dashboards, and emerging use cases like AI agents and campaign automation.
As demand for more personalized, data-driven solutions increased, Stratis needed a faster way to deliver innovative solutions that could easily integrate with Salesforce objects, without the limits that other clouds were susceptible to. They needed to scale their applications across geographies, ensure business continuity for their customers, and fail fast with new innovations without the technical debt that usually entails.
Conventional infrastructure slowed innovation and cost-to-serve
Stratis started with experience building enterprise applications on Azure and AWS, but these platforms often introduced operational overhead like configuring networks and managing IP restrictions and security layers that slowed delivery. As more clients sought lightweight platforms that could integrate with Salesforce, the team began looking for a faster, more flexible approach, one that allowed them to move quickly, iterate often, and reuse components across environments.
One client, Terebinth LLC, was running a popular out-of-the-box white-label order management system (OMS) with little room for customization to power a critical component of their Digital Consumer Experience (DCE) program for thousands of food service programs across the United States. While they had adopted Salesforce customer relationship management (CRM) and Marketing Cloud, they lacked the tools to deliver digital experiences like mobile ordering, dynamic signage, or AI-powered promotions. For a non-technical team likeTerebinth, hiring developers or rebuilding the stack from scratch wasn’t desirable. They turned to Stratis to bring their digital vision to life.
To support clients like Terebinth, Stratis needed a way to deliver modern solutions rapidly without compromising scalability or maintainability. They evaluated continuing with Azure or AWS, but both required extensive setup and infrastructure management. Heroku provided a better option with out-of-the-box Salesforce integration, lightweight operations, and a developer-friendly experience for building and iterating quickly.
Stratis scaled delivery with reusable architecture on Heroku
Before rolling Heroku into client work, Stratis built HK Mobile, a mobile app that mirrors Heroku’s admin console. It gave the team full control over apps, dynos, and billing from their phones. As a .NET-focused shop, Stratis also developed custom buildpacks to run .NET apps on Heroku before official support was available. This allowed them to extend their preferred tooling into a platform better suited to rapid, iterative development.
They put that Heroku-first approach into action with Terebinth, delivering five fully integrated applications that helped propel the DCE program to the next level in just four months:
- A new order management system
- A mobile ordering app
- A kiosk experience for in-store purchases
- A dynamic digital signage solution
- A web front end for direct-to-consumer ordering
Heroku’s lightweight operations let Stratis teams across the U.S., Africa, and India deploy and collaborate without heavy setup. Using Heroku Connect, they synced Salesforce data across all applications in real time, giving business users immediate access to promotions, customer behavior, and store performance.
Under the hood, Stratis used event-driven architecture to trigger real-time updates and workflows, and integrated with MuleSoft to connect Salesforce with third-party systems. This made it easier to prototype, test, and launch new services without slowing core development.
Internally, Stratis built accelerators on Heroku to reduce demo prep and share reusable tools across projects. These included an Agentforce-based solution that helps non-technical users build and test AI-driven workflows with no code.
When Heroku launched official .NET support in public beta, it made their Heroku-first strategy even easier to scale.
Heroku lets us move fast without giving up the tools or architecture we care about. We were able to build five full apps in four months and still do it our way—with .NET, event-driven design, and real-time Salesforce data.

Speed, savings, and scale with Heroku-first development
With Heroku as their foundation, Stratis Global unlocked a faster, more flexible way to build and scale modern applications, both for clients and for their own team. Heroku’s simplicity, scalability, and seamless Salesforce integration became central to their product-first model.
Accelerated development cycles and lower project costs
Shifting to a Heroku-first approach gave Stratis a measurable speed advantage and a strong differentiator in a crowded market. Internal accelerators and proof-of-concept tools cut demo prep from weeks to hours. On client projects, build times dropped by over 35% compared to Azure, especially for apps tightly integrated with Salesforce. In one case, Stratis rebuilt a full OMS platform for nearly 80% less than a competing quote by reusing components, automating workflows, and streamlining deployments to deliver faster without compromising quality.
Unified delivery across global teams
Heroku’s operational simplicity helped Stratis coordinate engineering teams across the U.S., Africa, and India with ease. Developers could log in, deploy, and collaborate—no IP whitelisting, no subnetting, no heavy setup. Heroku Connect provided secure, real-time bi-directional data sync between Heroku apps and Salesforce, enabling responsive front ends without duplicating backend logic. These same integrations were reused across client projects and internal tooling, bringing greater consistency to every engagement.
Extensible architecture that supports innovation
Stratis used Heroku not just to build apps, but to productize their expertise. They developed internal accelerators for technologies like Agentforce, enabling business users to create AI-powered workflows without writing code. These tools help showcase what’s possible—fast. Heroku’s flexibility also made it easy to layer in modern observability tools like OpenTelemetry. Stratis instrumented their .NET apps with custom dashboards, helping clients monitor usage and performance without building a separate analytics stack. By participating in six Heroku early-adopter programs, Stratis continues to experiment with new features and stay ahead of platform evolution.
Proven Impact
A new digital business line for Terebinth, built and maintained by Stratis, powered by Heroku
Stratis’s Heroku-powered solution helped Terebinth move from a rigid, white-label OMS to a flexible, multi-channel platform supporting mobile ordering with online payment, in-store signage, kiosk purchases, and more. In just four months, they launched five applications—kickstarting a new era of digital engagement for Terebinth’s network of over 4,000 store partners.
The results were so strong that Terebinth created the gitt-it app to scale and license their DCE program. Today, that same Heroku-powered foundation drives AI-based promotions, store analytics, and campaign workflows, creating value not just for Terebinth’s network of DCE locations, but also for major food and beverage partners featured on the gitt-it app.
By building on Heroku with a product-focused mindset, Stratis didn’t just help their client modernize, they helped unlock an entirely new revenue stream.
Going Heroku-first has been a game changer. We’re delivering faster, scaling smarter, and building reusable tools that let us, and our clients, keep pushing forward without the usual overhead.
