fly.io is better anyway. Its a real shame how far salesforce dropped the ball on heroku

  Yes Heroku was so far ahead of its time, and they could have been a leader in this field. They didn't even tie it in very well with Salesforce CRM as well which would have gained them cloud business. Free tier is probably the only thing that has kept them relevant. With this move, all I see is Heroku conceding defeat that they have not caught up, and they just want to milk existing larger customers for money.

  > Its a real shame how far salesforce dropped the ball on heroku I mean, was there any sign to the opposite? Reading the sentence "Salesforce acquires Heroku" basically reads to me as "Giant megacorp buys trendy internet-y company so their name appears in newspapers positively and they have a department where they can put their employees that are too smart for their current job and would otherwise quit".

    A shame but not a surprise. Salesforce will be percieved like IBM or Oracle in 10 or 15 years. I already see them that way but it seems like many don't

  When companies are acquired by salesforce, do they ever get become better in terms of features, reliability etc? There are more example than just Heroku like Exact Target.
