Editor's note: This is a guest post from Mathias Meyer of Travis CI.

Travis CI is a continuous integration and deployment platform. It started out as a project to offer a free platform for the open source community to run their tests and builds on.

Over the past two years, Travis CI has grown, a lot. What started out with a single server running just a few hundred tests a day turned into a platform …

Heroku Postgres brings the Heroku flow to your database, offering safe and straightforward provisioning, scaling, development and collaboration. Traditionally, generating and sharing data from within databases has been inconvenient and challenging. What if you could safely and easily capture and share the data you need to drive your business?

Dataclips, available on all Heroku Postgres production and starter databases, let you run SQL queries against your data and share the results in an easy, visual …

Heroku Fork and the heroku sharing command have been deprecated. For more information on releases and rollbacks, make sure to check out the Dev Center.

Heroku tools let you create robust, healthy workflows for your apps, from development to production to ongoing delivery. Add other developers to your app with heroku sharing, create homogeneous staging and production apps with heroku fork, and quickly deploy directly from staging to production with pipelines.

Logs tell the story of your app – a continuous, living stream of events, changes and behaviors. Logs let you rapidly identify and act on critical events, debug issues in your code, and analyze trends to make better decisions over time.

But log management is increasingly complex. As apps scale across distributed infrastructure, many independent processes must be tracked and made sense of. Numerous components and backing services each produce their own log streams. Multiple …

Heroku Add-ons are services exposed through the Heroku platform. They are managed by experts, provisioned and scaled in a single command, and consumed by your application as loosely coupled components. This post provides an overview of Add-ons for logging, persistence, caching and monitoring in production apps.

Logging

Logs provide the foundation for trend analysis, error inspection, performance tuning and other processes critical for running production apps. Heroku routes and collates real-time logs …

Heroku Fork has been deprecated. See the GitHub repo for the Fork CLI plugin for details.

An application is more than source code – it’s executables, generated assets, runtime environments, dependencies, configuration, running processes, backing services and more. What if you could fork your entire app, not just your code?

heroku fork lets you create unique, running instances of existing applications right from the command line. These instances are live and available on Heroku immediately …

Until now, Heroku Status has been focused primarily on present platform health – providing current status, uptime for the current month, and recent incident history. Today we're announcing an addition to our status site: a dedicated page to view historical uptime. The new uptime page provides a longer-term perspective on Heroku uptime and incidents – perspective that is critical for transparency and continued trust in the Heroku platform.

The new uptime page covers both …
