Offers great service for server side app deployment

Reviewed 6 years ago

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

A good plattform for your services

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

Heroku's GitHub integration and pipelines make it easy to organize and automatically deploy multiple services and and move them through their stages of development. The fact that you can "promote" a service from staging to production without building/compiling is a game changer for me. Not to mention the large catalog of third party integrations that can be deployed and integrated with services in just a few clicks.

Cons

There are quite significant gaps between the pricings of dynos. If a certain tier isn't enough for you, the next tier may cost more than double.
