New Heroku Add-Ons Marketplace
- rdl 14y agoWow, that's a b2b type site which is prettier than most consumer sites (and actually useful).
- matthewrudy 14y agoI guess this isn't supposed to be launched yet Most of the addons are missing from this, notably NewRelic
- riffraff 14y agoFWIW, I appreciate the intent to group things (e.g. logging rather than having to read all) but I do _not_ understand why the description is now invisible (needs hovering) and why it's completely unaccessible for the featured ones without navigating away.
- robotmay 14y agoI was wondering when they'd get around to updating the addons page. Looks nice and it should help now that there are a lot of competing addons for each category (there's now something like 5 Redis providers).
- petenixey 14y agoNice job Glenn & team :)
- shanelja 14y agoMost of the time web pages look far better on my Work iMac, but this is stunningly well designed, it looks perfect on my cheap windows laptop, my phone and my iMac.
- pkrefta 14y agoI'm wondering why prices and descriptions are hidden ? This is marketplace and I think it should provide nice way to compare prices and services.
- WalterGR 14y agoI keep seeing Heroku come up as a viable alternative to... what? That's the part I don't understand. The value prop seems to be eliminating ops. i.e. we'll take care of it so you don't have to. But digging deeper, that seems only to be accurate for Rails apps. If I want to - say - deploy a PHP app (god forbid) - then I still need to play sysadmin. Am I reading things wrong? I would _love_ if that were the case.
- neilmiddleton 14y agoPHP is the exception, but most things are as deployable as Rails these days.
- WalterGR 14y agomost things are as deployable as Rails these days. I really, really don't want to seem dense. But I don't understand what that means. Let's forget about PHP, and consider Clojure. Reading http://blog.heroku.com/archives/2011/7/5/clojure_on_heroku/ http://blog.heroku.com/archives/2011/7/5/clojure_on_heroku/ I don't see the part that says SysAdmins are no longer needed. But maybe I am dense, and just don't get what Heroku offers...
- neilmiddleton 14y agoThe Heroku offering is about providing a stack that you don't need to know anything about in order to look after a decent application. You deploy with Git, give it the resources it needs and forget about it. You've no need to learn UNIX, or anything about packaging, or security, or networking and so on. You just need to care about your application. Saying this, there's lots of things deployable to Heroku right now, and even more via the Buildpacks system. Yes, at first Heroku was just Ruby, but those days are long gone, most modern platforms that run on UNIX are deployable to Heroku in just a few minutes.
- themgt 14y agoI'm not sure I understand what you mean. The process for deploying a Clojure app to Heroku is the same process as deploying a Ruby, Rails, python, PHP, node.js, scala, etc app. That's the basic win of the unified build/deployment/hosting process How would you get a clojure app deployed on EC2 or Linode without doing a lot more sysadmin work than Heroku?
- ejpastorino 14y agoIt was about time! The new dashboard is great and much more comfortable, but looking for plugins was still a pain. Still, Heroku is an option for small/medium deploys IMHO.
- taybenlor 14y agoWhat happened to New Relic?
- wheaties 14y agoThere used to be several logging add-ons, one of which I uses regularly. I hope it's an "oops" and not a change.
- arjunbajaj 14y agoI like the new page with the ordering and all, but the old one was way better in giving more information about the addon! Also, finally they have Addon Search! :D
