Thanks Shostack. As it happens, I don't have an MBA, but I have considered in the past as I think it is important for people who come up through the engineering ranks to GM jobs to be well rounded. Instead I've done a lot of learning on the job, which also works.

There is no intent to shut Heroku down. Quite the opposite.

We are not shutting it down. As I said in the blog, our priority is making sure that Heroku choice is a good business decision for critical apps of all sizes. This does have tradeoffs, but getting the rug pulled out is not one of them - the opposite.

Could you jump in on the cloud native buildpack issue above and ask for clarification? Goal of the public roadmap is to gather input and feedback and make it better.

We are not "sort of winding it down".

We are doing more than keeping the lights on. Purpose of the public roadmap (which just launched, we'll need some time to really get it right, I'm sure) is to show what we are working on. Any comment on the work around github integration safety as an example?

Watching for feedback here, but it's nice to know when I'm getting reachouts on product feedback directly who is touching base. Linked-in is great for that. But also, if you want to provide feedback we launched the roadmap on github if that's your preference. Trying to cover both kinds of customers.

Transparency on direction.
countspongebob··on Ask HN: Are you leaving Heroku?
Heroku is very much alive. On your comment about what is to be expected.... stay tuned.

Given that, I also don't want to forget the little bugs, I believe they are important to a great user experience. I think this is true for any product, but especially true for Heroku.

Any other seemingly trivial bugs that are frustrating you? Would love to get your list.

Hi all... I'm the new-ish Heroku/DX GM for Salesforce, and in prior job was the Kubernetes GM for AWS. I always read these threads with great interest. Very much appreciate the unvarnished feedback about Heroku we get here.
