Heroku Overview#

The Heroku API offers programmatic access to Heroku's cloud platform, enabling developers to automate, extend, and integrate their app's lifecycle events with other services. With Pipedream, you can harness the Heroku API for powerful automation, such as managing apps, dynos, add-ons, and configuring scaling operations. Pipedream's ability to connect with multiple services allows for creating complex workflows, such as syncing your development pipeline with external project management tools or triggering alerts based on app metrics.
