About
Heroku is a fully managed cloud application platform that allows developers to build, deploy, and scale web applications without managing infrastructure. It supports multiple languages, offers 150+ add-ons, and provides managed data services including Postgres and Redis. The platform also includes AI capabilities such as managed inference, agents, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) support.
Problem

For
Developers, teams, and businesses of all sizes building and deploying web applications
How it works
Heroku runs apps inside managed containers called dynos, handling deployment, scaling, security, and runtime operations automatically via a CLI and Git-based workflow.
