Tomorrow I'm paying a visit to my good friends at Heroku, one of the most exciting and successul companies I've had the pleasure of working with in the past 2.5 years, since I have become a full time advisor/board member.
The most fun to watch has been how Heroku has changed from a complete unknown, the very concept of which I often had a hard time explaining to people in the industry, to a staple of startup pitches. After the Salesforce.com acquisition, it's become a common phrase to say "We're the Heroku of..." So much so that some people are tired of it (check out this Hacker News thread).
Some examples:
- The Heroku of PHP
- The Heroku of Django
- The Heroku of Wordpress (WPEngine)
- and the list goes on
Anyway, will be fun to visit with the guys again.
