Moving Off Heroku, Slowly

It sort of seems to me that Heroku stopped development / experiments after getting a bunch of traction. They were spot on solving a specific problem, early, and as time went on, said problem became a non-issue?

For a long time, they operated more or less like an independent org after the Salesforce acquisition. Eventually they’ve been pulled into the ecosystem though, and now it has the on-brand feel: 10+ second page loads, weird breakage like it taking two tries to click the SSO links to open addons like New Relic, needing to re-auth too often. It’s a shame.

A lot of the key talent also moved on.

What used to be the "Oracle Effect" has now become the "Salesforce Effect".

Salesforce bought Heroku in 2011. Also every cloud provider has an in-house "good enough" PaaS at this point.
