The devcenter site is absolutely hosted on the Heroku platform. I don't have first hand knowledge of this specific incident, but I do have a very deep understanding how the Heroku platform as a whole works. It is incredibly likely for many service disruptions to affect a only subset of applications, and not the platform as a whole. The system is, in fact, specifically designed to isolate failures of individual components to as small a failure domain as possible. That doesn't always work, but implying that there's something nefarious going on or that Heroku is not eating their own dogfood with the devcenter site is dead wrong.
