Re:Ask HN: Is Heroku Being Sunset? on Monday May 09, 2022 @10:51AM (#31314781)
ex-Heroku here.

Can confirm Periwinkle is a thing. It started a couple of years ago.

However, as far as I know, it's also done. The scope was massively reduced once they realised the complexity of what they are trying to do (which isn't sunsetting Heroku, but more moving it in the direction that Salesforce Functions has taken). In the end, Periwinkle essentially transpired to be the banner that you now see at the top of Heroku properties.

Saying that, I've been out a few months. I don't know what the current plans might be, and I do wonder if recent events might have SFDC evaluating what's next.

Which isn't hard. Support can increase it, but there are some proviso's such as increased deploy/boot time

The codebase is sound. I would almost certainly expect that the reason for the slowness is the ability/diligence and paranoia levels the SFDC security teams have. They won't want to turn this back on until they are absolutely certain it's 100% again.

As a current serving herokai - things are still very much like this. Things are fine.
I don't think my new month is the same time as your new month. I guess it's when we signed up / deployed first time.
I disagree that you're bound. Most of the way you run your apps on Heroku works the same way anywhere, or can do with only the smallest amount of work. IMO if you want to migrate away, the biggest job is filling the gaps that Heroku provide for you, and don't realize they do until you don't have them anymore.

I heard it was also sold at cost (of an ELB). https://twitter.com/johnbeynon/status/727375051331346432

It gets to know that you're not a scammer and using free hours for bad.
Indeed. If your site is down, it's your fault - no-one elses. Yes it may be down because someone downstream is down, but ultimately it's your choice where and how you host.
Safari isn't the problem. It's not chrome either. The problem is that 99.99% of people using the web via these browsers doesn't give a shit. It's up to us developers to build for what people are using right now.

Heroku aka Salesforce?

With the ability to add a remote mic and speaker setup so I can hide the unit, along with a trigger word of "Computer" this could be awesome.

> They've had more than a few major incidents in this year alone: https://status.heroku.com/uptime - no service is perfect, but that's not once every couple of years

This is a frequently misunderstood metric. Whilst there is a number of incidents on status.heroku.com, the average platform uptime for a single app is still 99.995% [1]

What about Heroku is proprietary?

Who'll look after your docker infrastructure?

Re:Heroku locked down on Thursday July 24, 2014 @12:12PM (#8080373)
Lockdown is normal in an incident. It helps protect the running apps from more issues.
I'm referring to using Cabs direct. I realise Hailo is via card.
