Reminder: Salesforce owns Heroku

  This is the first thing I thought when I read it.

  They do say, though, that the job is to "Design and implement major pieces of the salesforce.com core database infrastructure". That doesn't sound like they're talking about Heroku, at least not as the main reason for their hiring spree.

    All of Salesforce production uses Oracle.. It costs them some serious $$$. Oracle is one of Salesforces competitors.

    Be that as it may a Salesforce.com representative told me that the hiring is related to the Heroku Postgres service, not a migration from Oracle to Postgres [1]. Perhaps the person writing the job ad was embellishing by calling it a major piece of the core database infrastructure.

      Or Salesforce is moving to dogfood heroku internally.
