About
Heroku is a fully managed cloud application platform that lets developers 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. Recently, Heroku has expanded to support AI application development with managed inference, agents, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server hosting.
Problem
Developers spend too much time on infrastructure, ops, and build systems instead of focusing on building their applications.
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 all underlying infrastructure, security, and scaling automatically so developers can deploy via Git or CLI.
