Where Can Heroku Free Tier Users Go?
Summary
The company also laid out its product roadmap plans, which some skeptics viewed as lackluster and a sign that Salesforce is sunsetting Heroku. As Danny Thompson, a software engineer at FrontDoor, tweeted: “Heroku is ending their free tier and some folks are freaking out. The immediate impact for free-tier users — who make up a significant portion of the 13-million account base — is that they will need to pay for a basic subscription within two months. Heroku will also sunset free PostgreSQL and Redis services, so a lot of users will be forced to run a risky, time-intensive migration process to move their data to other platforms if they’d rather not upgrade. I suspect Heroku will eventually morph into just that — a platform to run Salesforce apps, versus general-purpose cloud workloads.
