Need to quickly catch up on this past quarter's announcements? Here are the top three topics to tune in on:
Heroku announced the general availability of continuous integration (CI) on May 18, 2017. This new feature creates copies of staging apps to run tests, then destroys the app and its add-ons. With Heroku CI, you will see an increase in the number of default ephemeral plan resources regularly provisioned on Heroku review and CI apps. Previously, these apps used the add-on plan configured for staging.
As developers adopt CI/CD workflows, temporary deployments are becoming increasingly…

Advancing the Add-on User Experience
Several add-ons are already using the new Platform API for Partners. Adept Scale , a long-time add-on in our marketplace that provides automated scaling of Heroku dynos, has updated its integration to offer a stronger security stance, with properly scoped access to each app it is added to.

Need to quickly catch up on this past quarter's announcements? Here are the top three topics to tune in on:
The new add-ons canary service will attempt to provision and deprovision your add-on service on an app named 'addons-canary'. These daily tests will help us proactively detect any failed provisioning attempts and ensure customers can provision all add-on services. This effort will also help us identify issues earlier and notify you of provisioning issues.
Heroku Shield, a set of services included in Heroku Enterprise, is generally available and offers customers additional compliance features needed…

Developers want to spend less time setting up applications and start working with the code sooner. Setting up applications is error-prone, time consuming and interruptive to the development flow. Often, there are several steps to go from your code or other samples and templates that you find in repositories online, to a running application that you can continue to work on.
Today, we are excited to introduce the app.json manifest . app.json enables developers to define their applications' details, setup configurations and runtime environments in a structured way. Instead of providing step-by-step instructions, you can now add app.json…

Heroku Add-ons make it easy for developers to extend their applications with new features and functionality. The Add-on Provider Program has enabled cloud service providers with key business tools, including billing, single sign-on, and an integrated end-user support experience. Since the launch of the Heroku Add-ons site over two years ago, the marketplace has grown to nearly 100 add-ons. As the add-ons ecosystem has grown, we've learned a lot about how cloud service providers structure their businesses and how users interact with them.
Today we're happy to announce the launch of the updated Heroku Add-ons site .

Today we're happy to announce the availability of Heroku Scheduler . Scheduler is an add-on for running administrative or maintenance tasks, or jobs, at scheduled time intervals. It's the polyglot replacement of the Cron add-on, with more power and flexibility. And it's free; you just pay for the dyno time consumed by the one-off tasks .
A dashboard allows you to configure jobs to run every 10 minutes, every hour, or every day, and unlike the Cron add-on, you can control when. E.g. Every hour on the half-hour, or every day at 7:00am.

Today we're proud to announce the availability in beta of RabbitMQ add-on by VMWare. RabbitMQ is an open source implementation of the AMQP protocol that provides a robust, scalable and easy-to-use messaging system built for the needs of cloud application developers.
With the add-on, provisioning a fully managed RabbitMQ instance couldn't be easier to do:
$ cd rabbitdemo
$ heroku addons:add rabbitmq
—–> Adding rabbitmq to rabbitdemo… done, v2 (free)
$ heroku config
RABBITMQ_URL => amqp://uname:pwd@host.heroku.srs.rabbitmq.com:13029/vhost
