Today, we’re officially putting Heroku on life support. We’re done building anything new and we’re just going to keep the lights on so it doesn't crash or get hacked. We’re calling it "operational excellence" because that sounds better than "we've given up on this product." I know this sucks, so let me try to spin it for you.
If you’re already paying us with a credit card, don't worry—we’ll keep taking your money. Everything will stay exactly the same because we aren't touching a single line of code anymore. You can keep running your business on this ghost ship if you want.
If you’re a big company, forget it. We aren't signing any new enterprise deals. If you already have one, we’ll take your renewals until you finally get fed up and migrate somewhere else.
Why we’re doing this
We’re gutting the budget for this and moving all the engineers to the AI hype train because that’s where the easy money is right now.
