What is Heroku?
Heroku serves as a cloud-based platform that allows businesses to efficiently create, deploy, monitor, and scale their applications, facilitating a quick shift from idea to live URL while alleviating infrastructure challenges.

Nowadays, applications have become integral to our everyday routines, acting as essential resources for task management, online shopping, social connectivity, staying informed, and interacting with clients. The true impact of an application begins to unfold as users engage with it actively. The rapidity with which apps can be developed and improved in the digital sphere plays a pivotal role in a company's overall success. Heroku prioritizes the developer experience with a keen emphasis on application enhancement. It equips businesses, regardless of size, to harness the full potential of their apps while avoiding distractions related to hardware and server oversight. In an ever-changing digital environment, Heroku stands out as an indispensable partner for developers who seek to innovate swiftly and effectively.

Great for quickly spinning up an app, to get some user feedback
Date: Aug 17 2020SummaryOne of my favorite go-tos when creating an app at a hackathon or making a quick demo prototype. Saves the trouble of registering a domain name and all.
PositiveWhether you're at a hackathon or just quickly prototyping a new app for your company, chances are high you want real users to be able to try your app. You could just host it on a localhost, but that means you can't direct people to a proper URL. Heroku allows you to do that.
NegativeI first heard of Heroku back in 2015 and a few years later I swear I heard it was shutting down? But apparently it's still usable, so I'm not sure what exactly was going on. Company communications can be better, in this regard.
