I feel for the team working on this at this time. I hope this doesn't end up accelerating the culling off of Heroku by Salesforce. One of the smartest and nicest bunch of folks I've worked with.

Completely agree, heart goes out to the team. No harsh judgement of all the engineering team there, not a fun situation and hope they know a lot of folks in their corner.

Heroku is heavily connected with Salesforce now with Heroku Connect, I doubt this is part of the plan.

There was already a plan by salesforce to kill it and make it into salesforce functions. Someone else here called it project periwinkle.

That's frustrating. Heroku is one of the nicest cloud services I've ever used, and am currently using.

Salesforce has been holding heroku further and further out over a ledge they're definitely not planning on supporting it for much longer.

Edit: I only had one project left on heroku and I migrated it to Render a few months ago.
