Office address: 650 7th Street, San Francisco, California, United States

Description: Heroku is a multi-language cloud application platform that enables developers to deploy, scale, and manage their applications without the need for servers or administration. It supports languages such as [Ruby](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/ruby), [Java](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/java), Node.js, Clojure, Python, PHP, Perl, and Scala. Applications that are run from the in-house server utilize the Heroku DNS server to direct to the application domain. Each of the application containers or “dynos” are spread across a “dyno grid” that consists of several servers. Heroku was founded by [James Lindenbaum](https://www.crunchbase.com/person/james-lindenbaum) and [Adam Wiggins](https://www.crunchbase.com/person/adam-wiggins) in July 2007 and is based in San Francisco, California, U.S.A. The company was acquired by [Salesforce](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/salesforce) in 2011 but operates independently from their office in San Francisco.
