What Heroku is
Heroku is a platform as a service for developers, teams and businesses deploying, managing and scaling modern applications. It supports applications of different sizes and includes application metrics, threshold alerting and autoscaling at no extra cost.
Developers push code through the CLI, GitHub or continuous integration to a build system that prepares an app to run. Applications run in dynos, containers within a managed runtime environment. Heroku provides managed services including Heroku Postgres, Heroku Key-Value Store and Apache Kafka on Heroku, alongside add-ons, buildpacks, buttons, alerts, metrics and autoscaling.
