What are we announcing?

Public roadmap: Launch of our interactive product roadmap for Heroku on Github.

• Focus on what’s mission-critical: Removal of free dynos, hobby-dev Heroku Postgres and hobby-dev Heroku Data for Redis plans starting November 28, 2022 and inactive account deletion starting October 26, 2022.
• Student and nonprofit program: An upcoming program to support students and nonprofits in conjunction with our nonprofit team.
• Open-source support: We will continue to contribute to open-source projects, notably Cloud-Native Buildpacks. We will be offering Heroku credits to select open-source projects through Salesforce’s Open Source Program Office.

What products are impacted by the removal of free plans?

free dynos, hobby-dev Heroku Postgres and hobby-dev Heroku Data for Redis plans.

What happens if I take no action on my free apps or databases or do not upgrade to a paid plan?

• free dynos will be scaled down to 0 and hobby-dev databases will be deleted starting November 28, 2022.
• If you wish to upgrade to a paid product plan, we have documentation on how that can be done for Heroku Dynos, Heroku Postgres and Heroku Data for Redis. You can download your Heroku Postgres data if you need a backup.
