Platform-as-a-service that makes deploying, managing and scaling next-generation web applications as easy as writing them.Overview
Heroku was founded in 2007 by Orion Henry, James Lindenbaum and Adam Wiggins, with the goal of creating a platform-as-a-service that would make deploying, managing and scaling next-generation web applications as easy as writing them. The industry-leading Ruby application platform, Heroku features a workflow and interface that mimics how developers work. Heroku's multi-tenant architecture means no virtual machines to manage, no software to install, and no complicated platform stacks to manage and tune. Developers can focus on writing their code – and Heroku takes care of everything else. Based in San Francisco, Heroku has about 30 employees.
