Maximize your productivity
Heroku is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) based on a managed container system for building, running, and managing modern apps in the cloud. The platform’s flexibility allows you to use your preferred language or framework, as well as popular architectural patterns like microservices. A meticulously designed developer experience includes integrated tools, services, and a broad third-party ecosystem. As a PaaS, Heroku is fully managed, meaning that we take care of servers, hardware, and infrastructure, so you can stay focused on your app. Hundreds of thousands of developers run apps on Heroku that range from simple prototypes to global enterprises.
