Heroku is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that lets you extend Salesforce Customer 360. The two complement each other when you integrate the solutions of the Salesforce Einstein 1 Platform and your applications on Heroku to deliver engaging customer experiences.
Heroku lets companies build, deliver, monitor, and scale apps fast. Heroku provides all the necessary tools, frameworks, and fully managed services to support the entire application lifecycle, from development and testing to deployment and scale. This lets developers focus on building innovative apps using programming languages like Node.js, Ruby, and Python without the distraction of maintaining servers, hardware, or infrastructure.
You can get started right away by signing up for a Heroku account. If you want to explore adding Heroku to your Salesforce contract, contact your Salesforce Account Executive.
I want to work with a large amount of data so I can run analytics and gain deeper insights about my customers.
Heroku offers many data services to work with large data volumes that can handle terabytes of data, and integration tools to combine data from different systems. You can build machine learning models on Heroku or use third-party tools to make data-driven decisions.
I want to securely integrate data between my Salesforce instance and my mobile app so I have a complete view of my customers.
With Heroku Connect, you can integrate your Salesforce data and your app's data all through a point-and-click UI. Heroku Connect makes it easy for you to choose what data you want to sync between Salesforce and Heroku, and it's excluded from Salesforce's API limits.
I want to run resource-intensive operations with my Salesforce data like generating invoices in PDFs and video processing, but I'm running into Salesforce's governor limits.
Heroku can run workloads written in almost any language, and run them in parallel to make fast work of repetitive tasks. You can offload resource-intensive operations on Heroku and get your results much faster without worrying about governor limits.
I want to create multiple apps with personalized experiences for different types of customers and changing business needs.
You can deploy headless APIs on Heroku that handle application services like authentication, data retrieval, and content management across all of your apps. These services can come together with different front-end technologies to fit the right experience for your customers.
I want to track how my customers are engaging on our website and surface their personalized customer profile back to them.
With Heroku and Data Cloud together, customer engagements and interactions on the website can stream into Data Cloud in real time. You can also surface the customer's information stored in Salesforce back to them on the app.
