What is Heroku?
Heroku is a cloud application platform specifically created for developers. It offers a managed service environment that simplifies the process of creating, launching, and expanding applications. The platform provides a foundation for developers to focus on their code rather than managing underlying infrastructure. Developers use Heroku to deploy and manage their applications within a container-based system. They can use Heroku's data services for managed databases and integrate various add-ons and buildpacks from the Elements Marketplace to accelerate development. The platform also supports building intelligent applications and offers features for enterprise-level needs.
