Five bucks it’s this:

Management: “we’re going into maintenance mode”

Devs: “You mean we get to work on whatever we want?!”

Heroku has been going downhill ever since Salesforce bought them.

I can't believe that it has been over 15 years ... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1982489

Strong disagree. They didn’t even invent buildpacks until 2011, the year after the acquisition.

Momentum??

It’s just in coma, slowly dying away on a respirator. Some relatives irrationally keep paying the hospital to keep the patient alive, but the doctors just wait until they can finally pull the plugs and use the bed for someone with actual chances of survival.

I think the downhill slide started when they introduced the "Private Space Peering". It is a wrapper on top of AWS VPC, but it was something like $1000 a month several years ago. It also was gating larger instances and other important features.

So few people used it. I guess this provided a negative signal to their management about the adoption rate of new features. And then everything eventually just died.

Actually the opposite: they came into their prime after the acquisition. Probably not due to Salesforce, but still.

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.
dangus•55m ago
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.
