    Today, we're announcing important Heroku updates. These include an interactive product roadmap on #GitHub, support programs for students and nonprofits, as well as phasing out free product plans. See what the future of building on #Heroku looks like: https://blog.heroku.com/...

    lol @heroku. getting rid of the free tier is wildly shortsighted, but go off. (via https://t.co/...) https://twitter.com/...

    In a world where open source PaaS competition is heating up fast, eliminating the free tier for Heroku feels like a massive unforced error by Salesforce. https://twitter.com/...

    The end of an era. Which platform are we moving to next? https://twitter.com/...

    Bummer. Heroku free plans are gone. That'll mean thousands of diabetic @NightscoutProj blood sugar support sites as well. https://twitter.com/...

    Salesforce discontinues Heroku's free plan and remove inactive accounts. A bunch of cool and free internet websites and side-projects are gonna bite the dust in the next weeks https://blog.heroku.com/...

    “Starting October 26, 2022, we will begin deleting inactive accounts and associated storage for accounts that have been inactive for over a year. Starting November 28, 2022, we plan to stop offering free product plans and plan to start shutting down free dynos and data services.”…

    Heroku will no longer have a free plan. End of an era. https://leerob.io/... https://twitter.com/...

    Definitely the end of an era. I think many saw this coming a long time ago, but still sad to see. (Obligatory: @glitch is happy to host your projects, and being in a community with others who value the open web is wonderful.) https://twitter.com/...

    RIP Heroku, my aspirational devtools company. Their impact is measured in businesses created, number of people who write code turned into people running prod apps, and developers' lives made easier. This number is far greater than their lifetime revenue. https://techcrunch.com/..…

    Wow. Free lunch is over! Time to pay up, kids! [Heroku] “will be phasing out our free plan for Heroku Dynos, free plan for Heroku Postgres, and free plan for Heroku Data for Redis®, as well as deleting inactive accounts.” #NewHeroku https://twitter.com/...
