Heroku integration

What is Heroku?

It is a cloud platform that uses a container-based architecture called "Dynos", which allows development teams to store and run any web application on virtualized containers.

The service offers built-in metrics allowing you to monitor and manage the performance of your applications directly from the Heroku dashboard.

How does Heroku app integration work?

Combined with Buddy’s pipelines powered by Docker containers, the integration allows you to automate various tasks related to Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD).

For instance, you can configure a pipeline to deploy to Heroku after each push to your git repository, or schedule your application's update at a certain time of each day.

On top of that, the integration lets you execute commands remotely with Command Line Interface using Heroku CLI action, as well as parameterize the commands with environment variables.

Hint

You can adjust the privacy settings of your integration (i.e. who can use it and where) in the Sharing tab.

Now, to enable automatic Heroku deploy upon each push and start creating your first app, you only need to connect e.g. your GitHub repository and configure a continuous delivery pipeline in Buddy.
