Recensioni su Heroku

Most straight forward git push deployment around

Commenti: Wonderful developer / DevOps experience. In ~6 years of using the service we've hardly seen any issues attributable to Heroku itself (rather to AWS which they buiding their service on top of).

Aspetti positivi:

Very simple to deploy and configure. Allows developers to manage deployments and serverside configuration without the need for a dedicated DevOps team. Apart from just running applications their Heroku Postgres offering is rock-solid (and last I checked: the largest Postgres cloud deployment in the world).

Aspetti negativi:

- Support for 0 downtime deploys via "preboot" is too rudimentary. Preferably it would verify that the deployed code actually managed to boot before routing traffic. Also no built in support for canary deploys. - Could use more dyno types (ie. instance types) to fit more use-cases. However introducing more options would also complicate the product and business model so understandable that it's kept simple. - Somewhat overpriced. - For security focused enterprise organisations the lack of fine grained security settings might be an issue.

always want to love Heroku, keep getting stuck on like

Aspetti positivi:

Heroku is great for turn keying an app or DB during the early days

Aspetti negativi:

lack of console or the ability to just get a straight shell is always why we leave, project after project

Evil UX patterns

Aspetti positivi:

The ability to delete my account after all the money has been transferred from my account.

Aspetti negativi:

The misleading pricing and hidden costs.

For all applications

Commenti: My API and database is in heroku, in free mode, and meets the requirements well. Fully integrated with git, after each commit + push the service is automatically restarted with updates.

Aspetti positivi:

It is highly scalable, starting with a free version and then scaling up as needed. Deploying and Continuing Integration is very useful as well as being integrated with git, keeping your master up to date.

Aspetti negativi:

Sometimes I get confused about the real usefulness of each tab in web configurations, but it is something that is little used, does not disturb.

A Powerful Application Development Solution

Aspetti positivi:

I like the container security features and also the collaboration features With Heroku, application development has never been this easy

Aspetti negativi:

With Heroku, you only need to have some experience and no issues.

Good for first, gets really expensive later on

Aspetti positivi:

Really good for a start - first deployment and starting serving users is a breeze

Aspetti negativi:

It gets really expensive really fast. Vendor lock-in is an important factor you need to take into account - it's really difficult to switch from heroku.

Great PaaS solution for early stage startups

Aspetti positivi:

It's really easy to get things up and running on Heroku. It is no frills, but also very straightforward. It just works.

Aspetti negativi:

I would love if it had native support for cron jobs. They have apps you can add to support cron jobs, but they are expensive.

My Experience With Heroku

Aspetti positivi:

I like the container security features The software basically makes application development easy

Aspetti negativi:

It served us well. However, new users needs thorough training

Heroku used to be free

Commenti: I’ve had a great experience in the past with heroku. Due to its changes I’ve decided to not deploy as much on that platform

Aspetti positivi:

I like that heroku can be integrated with our GitHub account and via the cli I can update my deployed code.

Aspetti negativi:

That heroku went to a paid platform when it used to be a great tool for free code development. I also don’t like that some apps take a while to run on the platform unlesss you pay for a larger dyno

New to cloud development? Heroku is a great place to start with low startup cost to scale up

Commenti: Mostly positive. Before steering folks towards Azure/AWS, I would refer them to try out Heroku first to wet their feet.

Aspetti positivi:

I was up and running in about an hour. I didn't understand very much about cloud ops, or deployments in the cloud and they made it simple enough to use--even interesting. I love the company behind Heroku; their vision is leading the CI/CD industry with affordable and scalable web development.

Aspetti negativi:

Dynamos were just plain confusing. Coming as someone from a pure client/server architecture background who'd never worked in the cloud, it seemed a little scary. Heroku (at the time ) didn't offer a lot of training or documentation on how their pay-to-play model worked. Thankfully, they had a free tier, but I'm not sure it's around anymore :(

The easiest and the most useful cloud platform out there.

Commenti: I am very happy with the free and fast deployment of heroku. It's the first cloud platform that I used and I use it still to the very date.

Aspetti positivi:

The thing that I liked the most was the simplicity of heroku. In little to no time, one can get used to this piece of software. Deployments are faster comparing to others platforms. Another amazing fact about heroku is that it provides good features in its free tier. It has a managed postgreSQL server which is really handy.

Aspetti negativi:

I have used heroku for a long period of time and to my knowledge, it has never failed. I haven't found anything that's a let down for heroku. Although it could been better if there was a managed MySQL server.

The Greatest Cloud Application Service

Commenti: I mainly use Heroku as a free product but would definitely pay whenever I have a need for it. Heroku is an excellent platform for new and heavy users alike. I love the functionality it provides and have not had any issues. Definitely would recommend.

Aspetti positivi:

Heroku is amazing for deploying your applications; it's an amazing choice for free and paying users alike. The inclusion of buildpacks, environmental variables, SSL, domains, and more are amazing for customizing deployments. Add-ons also provide amazing functionality for projects.

Aspetti negativi:

The only negative I can think of is the lack of logs on the web client; in order to debug my deployments, I have to use the Heroku CLI (which is very good, just annoying to toggle between).

Host your project here for FREE

Aspetti positivi:

Version control and building and managing the project through CLI or GitHub with a very seamless process.

Aspetti negativi:

Sometimes GitHub pushed or deployed is not deployed through Heroku showing errors like Something went wrong which should be checked or solved.

A Nice Hosting Option

Commenti: Heroku is a good option for those looking a potential hosting service for their apps, and not only are the base and free options well-fleshed out, and the pricing is not egregious. While one has to be sure to take the time to learn Heroku, not only their web app but also their CLI, that's expected, and they make sure they provide a lot of resources for newcomers. I continue to use Heroku and hope to test them in larger scale apps in the future,

Aspetti positivi:

Heroku is a good hosting option for one's own apps. Being able to support several different languages is also a big plus of not having to worry about moving different code bases and still being able to work with Heroku. Upon creation, adding a project to Heroku does take a bit of work but when it definitely gets going, it does feel good and pushing updates doesn't take long for them to get running with the Github integration, which is a massive QoL addition within Heroku. Within apps there a lot of options that one can work with, even with the free plan and give lots of information to be able to track how one's app performance along with being able to keep track of potential errors and faults. The Heroku CLI is also nice to work with and well developed, being able to manage directly from terminal is important. The different staging options are pretty going in being able to test one's own app before even releasing out to the public and having a lot of options in testing before release is a big plus. While learning, I do have to say that Heroku’s wiki is fleshed out and provides a lot of information for someone new to such software.

Aspetti negativi:

Navigating through their website could use improvement, and while I have gotten used to Heroku and generally have a good idea of where their content is, I do feel like in the beginning I was constantly wondering where some options where and felt like information could definitely be better displayed along with general navigation. I also which there was a way to change up the appearance of the desktop app.

Best web hosting platform

Commenti: Overall, the experience with Heroku has been pretty good. I can deploy my projects on the go and view them live. I have been using it for my personal projects as it has less maintenance to do by myself and focus more on development and it saves my time.

Aspetti positivi:

I have been using it for 4 years to showcase my personal projects to others on GitHub. It's a great platform to deploy my projects and it supports all types of programming languages. I like the features of deployment of my GitHub repositories and also set up the webhook for automatic redeployment on changes on my GitHub repositories. It's easy to use and doesn't need to deal with a lot of infrastructures as it's a PaaS. Also, the startup can use this platform and focus more on development rather than setting up own servers and configuring it. Also i love feature of scaling the web apps/services starightforword, i just need to specify the number of dynos to scale it. It offers both the powerful dashboard and CLI so i can perform something on its dashboard or by using its CLI. I love when i can deploy a web app in no time so its fast and simple to deploy. It also provides free addons such as PostgreSQL, redis etc which i can use in my web apps.

Aspetti negativi:

Heroku Dynos are not cheap compared with the EC2 instances and the price may increase when we need scaling on the projects. The free tier can only create limited apps and also only a dyno is available with limited hours. Not all add-ons are available free of cost.

Heroku is a powerful PaaS with unmatched support

Commenti: Heroku has allowed us to focus on our product and outsource the majority of our dev ops workload, which has been highly effective at our (small) size.

Aspetti positivi:

We've been using Heroku since our product launch for much of our backend infrastructure, and we remain absolutely smitten with the fantastic product and support we've gotten. Heroku strikes a great balance between the responsibilities of running everything on bare metal yourself and a more managed infrastructure, and we've been very happy with the trade-offs here. To top it off, their support is phenomenal, and, in the case of highly technical issues, consistently escalate support queries to the right technical person internally.

Aspetti negativi:

Heroku can definitely be pricier than running your own show directly on your own servers, or even in a virtualized environment like AWS that's definitely one critique we've seen from colleagues, however in our case that cost is more than justified for what we get in return for it.

Great Platform as a Service Host

Aspetti positivi:

Heroku is my go-to when I need to deploy any application that's not just a static website. The pricing is very easy to understand, they have a great free tier, and the add-on system makes it easy to take on the services that I need to make things work the way I want. I really appreciate the recent addition of support for Docker containers as well. It makes things easier to use and deploy when I've got a containerized application. I also appreciate how easy it is to transfer an application between my personal account and a work account. That means I can easily experiment with something in the free tier, then transfer it to the work account for billing purposes once something is up and running.

Aspetti negativi:

I really wish there was built-in support for docker-compose. I use that to manage my applications, but when I deploy I need to switch over to using the add-ons. Not a dealbreaker, but a bit annoying.

Heroku, take control on your server side app deployment!

Commenti: Heroku is a fast, easy, nice and very reliable place to host your server side apps, node.js and ruby on rails apps works like a charm. I use HEROKU to deploy my apps, it allows me to store logs, run commands on the server side, clone the entire app and create a new environment, add services to my apps such as Sendgrid, Postgres DB and many many other. It also allows you to create pipelines and setup your environment variables in a very easy going manner over the web tools but also there is the CLI that allows you to do all the actions over the console. The overal service experience is great, once you start working with HEROKU, git will be your best friend since it is the way to deploy your apps. It even provides you with many development environments for your app like Swift and any other that have some sort of package manager. Last but not least you can manage your project collaborators and ownership over the web manager so you can create your app and add all the members on your development team in no time or you can create an app for your client and once its finished you can transfer the app ownership to your client. This is by far one of the best services for apps development i'd found in years, it really reduces the development and deployment time, no setup for each app, just the joy of git push heroku master ..... Done

Aspetti positivi:

To get start with the services you just need to create the app in the web manager app, witch makes it super Easy to use, it is super FAST to deploy and run the apps. It is highly scalable, you can start with a free dyno and scale it over the paid plans according to your needs with makes it ver cost efficient. It might replace your git repository but also it is very easy to create several environments for your app in no time with exact clones of it even with environmental variables

Aspetti negativi:

The only one that i can mention right now is that i haven't found a really nice solution for push notifications (i'd like to find something easy going like send grid )

Our team uses Heroku for a multitude of projects and we are very happy overall

Aspetti positivi:

Provides a multitude of add-ons - literally plug and play with very little setup. Pleasant Dashboard and UI/UX (overall) It's like the Swiss knife of PaaS

Aspetti negativi:

Hard to debug failed builds Documentation could do better although I am aware with such complexity at hand it's not easy to manage perfect docs.

Offers great service for server side app deployment

Commenti: I am using this software to deploy ruby based web apps for our clients. It offers an easy to use and easy to manage web app facility. If the cost of the service is reduced a little bit, I would love to give them full stars. Some business and developers must use this at least once.

Aspetti positivi:

Heroku offers one of the best services to deploy server-side apps. It is a fast, reliable and straightforward way to use apps. I found it very easy and efficient to create different environments for your app. It allows focussing more on the app rather than deploying it. I found it very easy to connect the web app further with the databases. One can easily test or scale any app with the tools provided. It is an excellent alternative of the git since; it gives the ability of version control from the same system.

Aspetti negativi:

When you have to scale up your application, pricing of the service will get pain for you. One limitation which I had noticed is the inability to have direct access to the services. This results in decidedly fewer customisation options for a developer. Some add-ons have an inferior user interface.

My take on Heroku

Commenti: I've been happy with the tools Heroku has offered me. However, for a user that knows her way around cloud providers these might provide a more fine grained control over their application's availability.

Aspetti positivi:

A decent free to use offer, and a overwhelmingly well thought paid plan. Integration with Git and other Control Version systems is mature and well thought, allowing the team to make sure the application is always up and running.

Aspetti negativi:

The interface is not always as responsive as one would wish for, also the CLI version is not yet as intuitive as I would expect. Migrating your application from Heroku to another provider could also be easier.

Great PaaS for your application

Aspetti positivi:

Heroku is a great Platform as a Service product. You can set up a server and deploy it in a few minutes (at least a ruby on rails application). Integration with git is awesome!. You can scale your app with only a couple of clicks and is as transparent as it should be. If you don't want to spend money with a dev ops and managing server this is the solution for you.

Aspetti negativi:

They only con I will say is the pricing, even though you will save a lot of money in your initial stage, since you won't need someone to manage the infrastructure of your application, when you app start to grow, also will your invoices.

Heroku - Best PaaS tool to try out new projects quickly

Aspetti positivi:

* Heroku is one of the best PaaS(Platform as a Service) tool to quickly build the POC(Proof of Concept) or MVP (Minimal Viable Product). * Reduces lots of service setup/configuration time and server charges. * Supports many programming language and server stack. * Deploying code to the heroku platform can be performed by very few command line statements. * Can set up the server to auto scale based on the server load ; This enables our application to handle any spike in traffic. * The support documentation and help guide is very detailed. Most of the problems can be resolved by going through the documentation. * Supports pipeline for continuous code integration and delivery. * Can attach any DB to the container and the DB can be shared across many containers as well.

Aspetti negativi:

* Pricing : It can get really expensive as the traffic grows. At one point, it will make economical sense to move out of Heroku and go to the traditional server setup which will be less expensive. * There will be use case where we need to install additional software apart from the standard stack or run a specialized service in the server. This cannot be achieved using Heroku as it does not offer a direct access to the server. Very limited customization can be performed for the container.

The fastest way to publish your app

Commenti: We have used Heroku to test and publish our apps for couple of years.

Aspetti positivi:

The ease of use, documentation and the first contact with the app are flawless. Highly recommended to any developer.

Aspetti negativi:

Nothing in particular that I can mention, overall Heroku is the best in its class and the value you get for free is really high.

I used Heroku to publish my AI chatbot plus a couple of websites.

Commenti: I was able to test out all my apps with ease!

Aspetti positivi:

I really admire how this product achieves abstraction by using "dynos" on the cloud. I created a NodeJS AI chatbot as a part of my 3rd-year project, the ease of deployment using Heroku-CLI is one of the best things this platform has to offer. I got it hosted using a "hobby" dyno in no time. The continuous integration and deployment with GitHub helped me a lot in testing out my app. I also used this product to host a landing page for an app I made during a hackathon. The whole process took me no more than 15 minutes, which is really great!

Aspetti negativi:

I think the price for the "hobby" dyno is a little bit steep. Apart from that, Heroku puts your "free" dynos to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity which leads to slower response time from the server when the app is woken up again.
