Today, Salesforce announced several changes to Heroku, a platform as a service (PaaS) solution that allows teams to design, deploy, and scale contemporary apps entirely in the cloud.
Heroku’s latest version improves platform performance and operational ease with fully integrated infrastructure services such as Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (KS), Elastic Container Registry (ECR), AWS Global Accelerator, and AWS Graviton.
It standardizes to open source standards with Kubernetes, Open Container Initiative (OCI), and OpenTelemetry while adding no complexity.
Why It’s Important
Organizations are under pressure to respond rapidly to client requests, generate new digital revenue streams, and improve internal procedures. Simultaneously, technology teams must navigate an increasingly complicated technology ecosystem of infrastructures, cloud-native technologies, and developer tooling, all while implementing AI capabilities and increasing team efficiency. These pressures increase friction and risk across the software delivery lifecycle.
- • 84% of organizations are using or evaluating Kubernetes as core platform infrastructure, but adoption at scale requires selecting and integrating point technologies from a vast and complex ecosystem.
- • 46% of firms struggle to mature their cloud-native adoption due to a shortage of experienced talent and a lack of competence in security, monitoring, and observability.
- • 84% of CIOs say embedding AI technologies into their businesses is a priority, but just 11% have completely adopted owning to complexity.
Innovation in Action
The Heroku Platform addresses these problems in this edition by incorporating new programming languages and artificial intelligence into the development process. These platform updates improve and expand the integrated platform architecture and AI Services while adhering to open-source standards that improve security, performance, and flexibility.
Enhanced Developer Experience
With added support for .NET alongside languages already supported like Node.js, Java, Python, Go, Ruby, PHP, Scala, and Clojure.
Accelerate AI App Delivery
With managed inference, like Amazon Bedrock, developers can simplify and streamline their use of AI and foundation models.
Native DevOps Infrastructure and Automation
Providing more ease of use with platform resilience and performance on a global scale. This new release integrates leading AES services including Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Services (EKS), Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR), AWS Global Accelerator, and AWS Gravition into Heroku.
A Cloud-Native, Open Standards-Based
The basis is to drive alignment to cloud-native techniques and adhere to the Kubernetes control plane, Open Container Initiative (OCI), and Open Telementry-based monitoring and extensibility.
Salesforce Point of View
Heroku invented the PaaS category and established what a fantastic user experience should be like. “Empowering developers and operators to focus on delivering differentiated value to their businesses rather than infrastructure plumbing,” stated Gail Frederick, Heroku’s CTO and SVP.
With the second-generation Heroku platform, we maintain our leadership by delivering the most rigorous practices to cloud-native and AI applications, and managing them so our clients don’t have to. With Heroku, you develop it and deploy it, and we’ll handle the rest.
