Heroku Status – Dashboard/API Offline
- r-s 4y agoIts been one hell of a rough go for Heroku lately. I think you would be insane to start a new project with them today. Which is crazy for me to say, as I was one of their biggest fans for the last decade.
- suryao 4y agoHere we go again!
- sebiw 4y agoAgain?
- jacobsenscott 4y agoYes, heroku sh*ts the bed on the reg. Just hoping our app stays up. Scheduled jobs aren't running because it can't launch dynos to run the jobs.
- Kwpolska 4y agoWhy are you still using it if you know it’s so broken?
- derwiki 4y agoMomentum ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- jacobsenscott 4y agoEverything is broken in its own way. I didn't mean to imply there is anything better out there.
- derwiki 4y agoThis is really harshing my "build/test in production" mellow
- jeremyjh 4y agoThis is really harshing my bag of kludgy workaround scripts mellow.
- jakswa 4y ago> Already deployed apps will keep running, but customers cannot update or manage apps. Pretty sure some of their cron/scheduling stuff is affected too :-\
- jacobsenscott 4y agoYes - our scheduled jobs aren't running - no doubt if it can't deploy new apps it also can't start dynos to run scheduled jobs.
- anupsingh123 4y agoMy team is building something cool for running scheduled job. Let me know if you are interested

- jacobsenscott 4y agoFor their next trick apps will hit their "pseudo random 24 hour forced restart" and not restart. I'm hoping they remember to turn that off.
- aaronmiler 4y agoCircleCI, Linear, now Heroku. Universe really doesn't want my team doing any work this week.
- tiffanyh 4y agoOr the universe is telling you to use different tools :)
- bananadonkey 4y agoWhat happened with Linear? Didn't get a chance to use it in anger yet but was looking forward to it.
- aaronmiler 4y agoOh nothing catastrophic, they were just having a light outage yesterday.

- MobileVet 4y agoWe’ve been testing Render since late last year. Knock on wood we have had 100% uptime and a great experience. Currently we have moved about 15% of our traffic off of Heroku. It might be time to accelerate that exit.
- domh 4y agoWe really wanted to like Render, but the performance just wasn't there for us when doing a bunch of load testing against Heroku, which is a shame. Hoping they can make it better in the coming months/years cos we really liked the product.
- MobileVet 4y agoInteresting. Could you share more about the types of loads you were testing with? Our tests for simple JavaScript endpoints with a MongoDB call to be just as fast or faster on Render. Additionally the availability of far more tiers of cpu/ram meant we could see the same performance for half the cost.
- domh 4y agoNode.js + mongodb, definitely some not-so-performant pages with a few more db lookups than probably necessary. We also spun up a new Atlas cluster in the same region to rule out the cross data center latency.
- MobileVet 4y agoThat sounds very similar. We also spun up a Mongo instance in us-east-2 and the performance was fantastic. Round trip from the server to the mongo instance was super low and comparable to the Heroku / Mongo times on us-east-1 Bummer you had a different experience.
- anurag 4y agoHi Dom! After more evaluation, we think your experience was a Virginia vs Ohio problem. Once we have Virginia set up (along with a few other things our teams talked about) I'd love for y'all to give us another shot.
- kami8845 4y agoIf you're still running on Heroku after everything that went down last year, you really have no one to blame! We are happily on AWS now.
- jacobsenscott 4y agoDid your total devops cost go up or down? I'm sure aws is less expensive than heroku but I assume now you are paying more to people to do what heroku did?
- kami8845 4y agoWe are spending about 60% less. Workload has actually lessened since AWS is so much more stable. Getting to a similar DX as Heroku was quite the lift, but once it's done, it's done. These days we generally only have outages when we screw something up ourselves. I recommend https://github.com/aws/copilot-cli https://github.com/aws/copilot-cli for starting out on ECS.
- jacobsenscott 4y agoFor all heroku's done wrong it has been rock solid for us for nearly 10 years. The only outage I can remember in all that time is when they were having issues with their upstream dns a little while ago. Even this incident isn't causing any down time for us - we just can't deploy updates until it is fixed. I guess if we had a critical fix on deck it could be considered an "outage" though. copilot cli looks cool though.
- zoomzoom 4y agoWithcoherence.com is another way to get a great developer experience without doing all the work yourself. Disclosure - I’m a cofounder
- suryao 4y agoIf you want help with a kubernetes paas type setup, check out argonaut.dev Disclaimer: I'm the founder
- 4y ago
- jszymborski 4y agoTime for the scheduled Dokku plug I guess :P
- mjbamford 4y agoAfter the large pricing increases, the dumping of free apps, the lack of a facility to deploy to local (e.g. asia-pacific) regions without a "private space", and the astronomical prices for these private spaces, plus the complete lack of innovation, it's time for me to move on and learn a new vendor's offerings. Truly the last straw. Once a successful startup is purchased by one of these legacy giants, it really is the forbidding end of the invention that made the startup a winner to begin with.
- didgeoridoo 4y agoTo be fair, Salesforce bought Heroku in 2010, just three years after it was founded. Much of the innovation at Heroku happened under the Salesforce umbrella.
- PrivateButts 4y agogrumble grumble just when I needed to get some stuff done. I guess I'll just go outside for a bit.
- derwiki 4y agoWhat's the least friction alternative? I'm find with my database being hosted on Heroku (for now), what other service can I set up as a git remove, transfer my env vars, update my DNS and be good to go?
- Eduard 4y agoSelf-host
- dorongrinstein 4y agoYou should try https://controlplane.com https://controlplane.com
- booi 4y ago> $ 0.0000000236136 per vCPU-second per millicore ... what?
- quickthrower2 4y agoCooperative Multitasking perhaps?
- lozenge 4y agoSorry, nanosecond accuracy is coming later this millicentury.
- capableweb 4y agoIn their pricing calculator I put in 8 cores, 16GB of RAM, 1TB of egress and get the ludicrous price of $715.95 per month per location. Is this a joke or do some people/orgs actually pay these amount of those specs (+ the other stuff that's included, obviously)? If so, I need to rethink which market segment I'm in...
- Gys 4y ago> with AI-powered cost optimization I am missing a blockchain reference
- gazby 4y agoI remember reading a job posting from Heroku's heyday that said something along the lines of "Heroku haters need not apply". I think at the time they were just starting to cop some flak for their pricing. I wonder what the majority of the die-hard fans of yester-year did.
