alt Hacker NewsDear Heroku: Uhh What's Going On?
Comments
I think its impossible for the Herokus and the digital oceans of the world to survive in the cloud world. They might be able to create better experience for customers but noone can match the networking that AWS, GCP and Azure can provide. Low latency will always win over better developer experience.
The blog author isn’t understanding it but it’s quite simple: the product only matters in the context of large enterprise customers.
The large customers still get what they want as long as the ask isn’t too big and that’s why you see new features even though the product is in maintenance mode.
Heroku has been going downhill ever since Salesforce bought them.
The related discussion on one of the mentioned blog posts:
An update of Heroku
What a weird article that's microanalysing language in Heroku's blog posts. I mean times are such that pivot-churn is becoming business as usual for most outfits these days so I wouldn't put any stock on C-Suite verbiage.
Five bucks it’s this:
Management: “we’re going into maintenance mode”
Devs: “You mean we get to work on whatever we want?!”
