Heroku是一個支援多種程式語言的雲平台即服務。在2010年被Salesforce.com收購。Heroku作為最元祖的雲平台之一[1],從2007年6月起開發,當時它僅支援Ruby,但後來增加了對Java、Node.js、Scala、Clojure、Python以及(未記錄在正式檔案上)PHP和Perl的支援。基礎作業系統是Debian,在最新的技術堆疊則是基於Debian的Ubuntu[2]。
歷史
James Lindenbaum、Adam Wiggins和Orion Henry建立了Heroku,用於支援相容Rack的專案。[3]2009年10月,Byron Sebastian作為CEO加入了Heroku。[4]2010年12月8日,Heroku成Salesforce.com完全控股的子公司。
2011年6月12日,Ruby的首席設計師松本行弘加盟該公司,擔任Ruby的首席架構師。[5]當月,Heroku加入了Node.js和Clojure的支援。
2011年9月15日,Heroku和Facebook合作。現在,除了基礎的PostgreSQL[6]之外,Heroku還支援Cloudant、Couchbase Server、MongoDB和Redis[7],既作為平台的一部分,又作為一個獨立的服務。[8]在Heroku伺服器上執行的應用程式使用Heroku的DNS伺服器連接至應用程式的域名(通常為「應用程式名.herokuapp.com」)。每個應用程式容器(稱為dyno)跨越由多個伺服器組成的「dyno grid」。Heroku的Git伺服器處理來自授權用戶的應用程式庫推播請求。[9]
2012年北美雷雨導致很多Heroku寄存的應用離線,服務持續中斷近24小時。[10]

Heroku offers you the choice of running on a shared or dedicated database package. The shared plan is suitable for development and staging applications. It runs Postgres 8.3. The dedicated plans are suitable for production scale applications. In addition, the dedicated databases offer a number of advantages, including direct access (via psql or any native postgres library), stored procedures, and Postgres 9 support.
