Heroku gives you simple, easy ways to…

Run

Heroku runs your PHP applications inside a dyno, a smart container which provides a modern stack with your choice of web server (Apache or Nginx) and runtime — PHP 5.5 and higher, including PHP 7 or HHVM. Learn more.

Architect & scale

The Heroku runtime makes it easy to deploy loosely coupled services that run in secure, share-nothing containers. Horizontally scaling your app is as simple as dragging a slider in the Heroku Dashboard. Learn more.

Compose

Compose modern PHP apps using popular libraries via Composer and services with Heroku Add-ons. Add fully managed services like Heroku Postgres, MongoLab, Heroku Redis, New Relic and more with one command. Learn more.
