Heroku's Greatest Hits

⚪ HEROKU Aug 25, 2026
⚪ Heroku's weekend mood swings have been treated with industrial-strength duct tape. Services are limping back to normal after deciding to ghost users for a bit. The 'reset it' strategy apparently works when you're desperate enough.

⚪ Heroku's Data add-on provisioning decided to ghost everyone harder than a bad Tinder date. One rollback later and suddenly databases could be created again. They promise to investigate why their code had commitment issues.
