What Heroku Is.
eroku is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) built on Amazon Web Services (AWS). It allows developers to focus entirely on building and improving their applications — instead of managing servers, maintenance, and deployment pipelines.
It supports multiple programming languages including Ruby, Node.js, Python, PHP, Java, and Go, making it a flexible solution for teams that want to move fast and innovate freely.
With automatic scaling, built-in monitoring, and seamless Git integration, Heroku lets you deploy code in seconds and scale resources instantly — all with minimal configuration.
Simply put: Heroku lets us build big things fast.
