Heroku offers a managed cloud platform for deploying, scaling, and operating web applications.
Heroku provides a platform-as-a-service environment for building and running applications in the cloud. Teams deploy code to dynos, add managed data services, and scale workloads without managing underlying infrastructure.
The platform supports multiple programming languages and integrates with developer workflows through its CLI, Git-based deploys, and add-on marketplace.
