Leader in Platform as a Service and a pioneer
of cloud native principles, Heroku demonstrates a significant
commitment to cloud native innovation
SAN
FRANCISCO, June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The
Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®), which builds
sustainable ecosystems for cloud native software, today announced
that Heroku has joined the Foundation as a Platinum member and
will have a representative on the CNCF Governing Board.
Salesforce Heroku, a leader in Platform as a Service (PaaS), is
used by developers to deploy, manage, and scale modern apps. The
company has championed concepts like stateless applications and
separate build and run stages that have become "The Twelve-Factor
App." This approach empowered developers to create portable,
scalable, and reliable applications. The Twelve-Factor App
influence extends beyond Heroku's user base, shaping industry
practices for building and deploying software. These principles
became a significant part of the foundations for cloud native
applications.
"Heroku is pleased to join CNCF as a Platinum member,
reinforcing our commitment to advancing cloud native technologies
and contributing to the open source community alongside our peer
innovators," said Bob Wise, CEO,
Heroku. "Heroku is a big believer in the work CNCF is doing to
create a landscape of vendor-neutral open source we can all rely on
for the long term."
Heroku is a founding member of the Cloud Native Buildpacks
(CNB), a CNCF incubation project, as well as active project
maintainers. CNB takes application source code and transforms it
into an OCI image without the need for Dockerfiles. This helps
organizations standardize how their images are built, improving
both the day one and day two stories. As one of the pioneers of
cloud native principles, Heroku is now building on top of cloud
native technologies like Kubernetes, CNB, and OpenTelemetry.
"We are pleased that Heroku has joined CNCF as a Platinum
member," said Chris Aniszczyk, CTO
of the CNCF. "This significant investment is a testament to the
importance and continued growth of cloud native technologies and
the thriving ecosystem that has flourished around Kubernetes and
cloud native. Heroku's commitment to open source infrastructure is
welcomed and will be a significant asset to the community."
Heroku will be sharing more innovations at Salesforce's biggest
customer event Dreamforce, happening September 17-19, 2024.
Join Heroku and other CNCF members at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon +
Open Source Summit China in Hong
Kong, August 21-23, KubeCon +
CloudNativeCon North America in Salt
Lake City, November 12-15,
and KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe in London, UK, April 1-4, 2025.
