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…

At Heroku, we're always working towards increased operational stability with the services we offer. As we recently launched the beta of Apache Kafka on Heroku , we've been running a number of clusters on behalf of our beta customers.
Over the course of the beta, we have thoroughly exercised Kafka through a wide range of cases, which is an important part of bringing a fast-moving open-source project to market as a managed service. This breadth of exposure led us to the discovery of a memory leak in Kafka, having a bit of an adventure debugging it, and then…

Andrey Petrov is the author of urllib3 , the creator of Briefmetrics and ssh-chat , and a former Googler and YCombinator alum. He’s here to tell us of a dangerous expedition his requests undertook, which sent them from Python, through the land of C, to a place called Go (and back again).
Today we're going to make a Python library that is actually the Go webserver, for which we can write handlers in Python. It makes Python servers really fast, and—more importantly—it’s a bit fun and experimental. This post is a more detailed overview of…

In February, we announced Heroku Enterprise , with collaboration and management capabilities for building and running your app portfolio in a governable and secure way on Heroku. We also introduced fine-grained access controls with app privileges as a beta feature. Today, we are pleased to announce general availability of this feature: Heroku Enterprise accounts are now automatically enabled for fine-grained access controls. We’re very happy to deliver this feature that many of our largest customers have requested.
“Enterprises need greater visibility around applications and scalability, and Heroku Enterprise adds those features to the core Heroku value proposition,” said Matthew Francis,…

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 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
Your application's environment will now have the RABBITMQ_URL set pointing to your new instance. Most modern AMQP clients such as…
