Heroku AppLink: Now Using JWT-Based Authorization for Salesforce

Modern Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines demand machine-to-machine authorization, but traditional web-based flow requires manual steps and often rely on static credentials; a major security risk. Heroku AppLink now uses JWT Authorization to solve both: enabling automated setup and eliminating long-lived secrets.

Heroku GitHub Enterprise Integration: Unlocking Full Continuous Delivery for Enterprise Customers

We’re excited to announce a significant enhancement to how Heroku Enterprise customers connect their deployment pipelines to GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES) and GitHub Enterprise Cloud (GHEC) . The new Heroku GitHub Enterprise Integration is now available in a closed pilot, offering a more secure, robust, and permanent connection between your code repositories and your Heroku apps.

Faster Agents with Automatic Prompt Caching

Heroku is launching automatic prompt caching starting December 18, 2025. Prompt caching delivers a notable, zero-effort performance increase for Heroku Managed Inference and Agents . Enabled by default, this feature is designed to deliver significantly faster responses for common workloads. We have taken a pragmatic approach and currently only enabled this to cache system prompts and tool definition, and not user messages or conversation history. You can disable caching for any request by setting X-Heroku-Prompt-Caching: false.

Incident Review: Intermittent Disruption and Degradation of Heroku Services on October 20, 2025

Beginning on October 20th, 2025 07:06 UTC, multiple Heroku services were initially impacted by a database service disruption with our cloud infrastructure provider in the Virginia region. This affected the monitoring, provisioning, networking and availability of cloud infrastructure services that power the Heroku platform.

This outage was a complex, multi-phased event primarily triggered by multiple upstream outages within the cloud infrastructure provider Virginia region, and compounded by Heroku's single-region control plane architecture and automation failures. The service disruptions can be divided into two distinct phases based on root causes, timeline, and impacts.

Heroku Connect: Faster, More Reliable Data Sync with Salesforce CDC

Imagine this: Your sales team is about to close a major deal. They’re building a custom quote in your app, but they need to see the latest product line items from an Opportunity in Salesforce. They refresh. And wait. The data is stale. The quote gets generated, but it’s missing the latest addition to the deal since your data didn’t sync yet.

This isn’t a hypothetical problem. It’s a frustrating reality for developers who have been limited by legacy data synchronization technology. You’ve told us you need faster, more comprehensive data sync, particularly Accelerated Polling support for crucial but unsupported objects…
