Heroku is one of the oldest cloud platforms created using the PaaS (Platform as a Service) model. In comparison to Pivotal Cloud Foundry, Heroku doesn't have built-in support for Spring Cloud applications. It complicates our model a little because we can't use a platform's services to enable typical microservices components, including service discovery, a configuration server, or a circuit breaker. In spite of this, Heroku contains some really interesting features that are not provided by Pivotal Web Services.
We can manage our application using the CLI, web console or a dedicated Maven plugin. Deploying Heroku is pretty similar to deploying the Pivotal platform, however, the methods are slightly different. The main approach assumes that you deploy the application by building it from the source code stored in your local Git repository or on GitHub.
