Does anyone know what this actually is? Is it just a local stack that delivers requests to PHP in the same way that Heroku does? Or did they do a custom buildpack? I am not sure what "Heroku on your local machine" means... I have a custom php buildpack that I made (forked from heroku, borrowed some other ideas...) but to run it locally I just use PHP-FPM and there's nothing more to it...

It is a local PHP environment that bundles the Heroku client libraries. If you already have your own setup, it is not that big of a deal. For people developing on Windows, for example, it can be tricky to even setup the minimal Ruby environment to install Heroku libraries, etc. This is primarily targeted to developers that already know PHP but are getting started with Heroku
