2. The Developer Experience (DX)
The first and leading PaaS
Heroku is the original Developer Platform as a Service and we are still, by far, the leader in customers, apps deployed and satisfied developers. Innovating since 2007, Heroku has over 6M apps deployed and handles over 8B responses a day. Customers from large to small choose Heroku for building superior customer experiences – in development and production.
Best productivity and ecosystem
Developers choose Heroku for a better, more productive experience using the languages and tools they already know. One way to measure the quality of an open platform is the strength of the ecosystem it attracts. With over 900 language buildpacks and 150 curated, supported Add­-ons your teams get the benefits of a proven, trusted platform to accelerate development.

3. The Developer Experience (DX)
Innovation
Heroku has a history of innovation, creating the first developer PaaS and carrying on through buildpacks, our Add­-on marketplace and thousands of Heroku buttons. We are still innovating with features like support for Docker containers, Heroku native Redis, Kafka as a Service and Heroku Pipelines. A Fortune 500 Pharmaceutical company says Heroku Pipelines decreased time to market for new features by 42% while increasing security and quality.
Open Source
Heroku was born out of the open source community. Open source is used by default everywhere in Heroku. Apps run on Linux/Ubuntu. All supported programming languages are open source (we use OpenJDK for Java). Heroku Postgres is open source. Heroku Kafka is open source. We contribute extensively to open source: buildpacks, toolbelt, cedar stack image, fernet, pliny, logplex, and many more.
