Heroku Status provides the current status and incident history report for the Heroku platform. The status site covers all runtimes, as well as key add-ons necessary for smooth operation of production applications.
Starting October 10, 2025, the Salesforce Trust site will serve as the primary channel for all Heroku incident and maintenance communications. Heroku Status site subscribers who no longer wish to receive any incident notifications must opt out by Sunday, September 28, 8:00PM Pacific by using the unsubscribe link in the maintenance notification email. Remaining subscribers will be automatically subscribed to all Heroku-related notifications from Salesforce Trust on September 30, 2025. You can modify which Trust incident notifications you receive, for example by region and service or subscribe by SMS. Refer to the Trust user guide and Trust site notification guide The Heroku Status site, API, and email notifications will remain in place as a parallel backup incident communications channel until a longer-term strategy is finalized. Customers will be given a minimum of 30 day advanced notice if integration-impacting changes are scheduled. We will update with more migration guidance here.
