Salesforce is reportedly freezing new features and enterprise contracts for its cloud platform, Heroku, to shift focus and investment toward “enterprise-grade AI.” While existing enterprise subscriptions will be honored and new pay-as-you-go customers accepted, the move has caused concern among users and the community, who fear Heroku will slowly degrade despite its strong reputation as a PaaS leader. This decision has put the future of Heroku’s “Fir” runtime, which is currently only available for enterprise private spaces, in doubt for wider release.
