One of the first cloud applications, Heroku is a container-based Platform as a Service (PaaS) that was created in 2007. Heroku initially supported Ruby, but has since evolved alongside technology to support a variety of programming languages. Today, Heroku supports several development languages including Java, Node.js, Scala, Clojure, Python, and PHP, offering developers a way to architect applications in whatever language they prefer. Heroku’s visual environment facilitates development and collaboration, allowing developers to code in an efficient manner whether working on applications big or small.

In the years since its inception, Heroku’s development services have been lauded for scalability and reliability. It integrates easily with a variety of data platforms, and the fact it is fully-managed allows clients to focus their time and efforts elsewhere. Over the years, Heroku has grown into a preferred PaaS provider for cloud app development and customer-focused applications. As technology continues to evolve and prioritize interconnectedness, Heroku does, too, and its services include an ecosystem of more than 150 integrated applications for popular add-on features. How would cloud configuration with Heroku help your application scale?

Working With Unknown Languages

Are you looking for a multi-language cloud service that can be developed in whatever programming language your team prefers? Do you want to select your language, rather than be tied to a single one? Does your team prefer working in Ruby, Java, Node.js, Scala, Clojure, or Python?

Scalability

Worried about your application’s ability to scale over time as your business grows? Do you need to ensure your application can not only support an expanding user base, but also scale up on demand as use ebbs and flows? Want to scale during peak times, but pay for extra infrastructure only when you need it?

Management Of Complex Data

Does your application require complex data or the handling of large customer data sets? Do you need to integrate with a CRM system or another backend data management system with robust or encompassing requirements? Does your backend involve complicated business rules and processes?

Compatibility

Do you need to tie in with Git or other development hubs? Do you anticipate your application will need to connect with add-ons or ancillary tools such as alerts, analytic tools, or security services?

Focus on the Customer with Heroku Cloud Application Development

Heroku makes app development simple, allowing you to focus your time and effort (and budget) on product feature ideation and development, rather than on maintaining infrastructure or worrying about support for your hardware and servers. Heroku is great for applications which require CRM or dataset integration or management, and building on Heroku’s elegant and flexible platform will allow you to get to market fast and scale appropriately to keep your business coming back for more. Since Heroku services are backed by AWS (Amazon Web Services), it is a provider to be counted on.

Scalable Application Development

Applications should be built to scale, and to grow alongside your company. They must also be able to keep up with demand, whether that means a growing user base over time or peaks in use due to an external event or marketing campaign. You shouldn’t have to worry about performance suffering as a result of increased demand. Heroku offers scalable cloud application development and simplifies the ability to add or remove servers, which not only allows you to scale up, but also scale back at times when demand is lower.

Customer-Centric Architecture

Heroku is a great choice for applications focused on the customer. It can enhance the customer experience by allowing for transparency, and always providing the consistent and performance-friendly experience users have come to expect. When you’re dealing with products that handle sensitive customer information, such as financial or banking details, this reliability is essential. Furthermore, the platform supports a seamless customer experience with no degradation to performance no matter how many users are logged in or consuming media.

Stability

Application stability is essential for providing an excellent customer experience. It becomes even more pressing for applications which are frequently used and accessed repeatedly throughout the day, or which handle large amounts of data. Because Heroku is supported by an experienced team of sysadmins and ops experts around the clock, when you choose Heroku services you can count on your application remaining stable. If issues do arise, they are addressed and resolved quickly with no noticeable impacts on performance.

Security

Security is an important component for any application, especially in the FinServ industry or for apps handling customer data or making transactions. Yet as the web continues to increase in complexity, so does keeping on top of security requirements for multiple services or web applications. When you deploy on Heroku, this responsibility is passed on to the provider; they will ensure you keep customer data safe and in compliance with the latest standards.
