Heroku is transitioning

tweet inlined:

Heroku is transitioning to a sustaining engineering model focused on stability, security, reliability, and support. Heroku remains an actively supported, production-ready platform, with an emphasis on maintaining quality and operational excellence rather than introducing new features. We know changes like this can raise questions, and we want to be clear about what this means for customers.

There is no change for customers using Heroku today. Customers who pay via credit card in the Heroku dashboard—both existing and new—can continue to use Heroku with no changes to pricing, billing, service, or day-to-day usage. Core platform functionality, including applications, pipelines, teams, and add-ons, is unaffected, and customers can continue to rely on Heroku for their production, business-critical workloads.

Enterprise Account contracts will no longer be offered to new customers. Existing Enterprise subscriptions and support contracts will continue to be fully honored and may renew as usual.

Why this change

We’re focusing our product and engineering investments on areas where we can deliver the greatest long-term customer value, including helping organizations build and deploy enterprise-grade AI in a secure and trusted way.

It sounds like there were pretty broad layoffs which impacted a lot more than just a focus on enterprise contracts. It wasn't "just" a few enterprise sales people. Engineering may have indeed been the least impacted, but this sounds like biggest round of layoffs to hit Heroku since its inception, not just some right sizing from overhiring.

Their tweet doesn't make any sense they transition to "stability, security and reliability". Wasn't it already important values that I hope they followed to develop their platform?

And what is the relation with stopping entreprise contracts?

So it looks that they have to say that something very bad is happening inside but they best sugar coating is to use a lot of words to say nothing.

If ever they are doing payoff and reducing in activity, that looks crazy to me to stop the most profitable "entreprise" contracts to just target hobbyists.

Sad to see what's become of Heroku. I've used Render as a good modern day alternative and have been pretty happy with it.
