What the Heck is Heroku?

If you’ve ever heard someone mention Heroku and thought, “Okay…but what is it, actually?” — this is your event.
Join us for the inaugural meeting of the Heroku Hub Dallas, where we’ll break down Heroku in clear, business-friendly and developer-friendly terms. No jargon. No assumptions. Just a practical walkthrough of what the platform does, why companies use it, and how it fits into the modern cloud ecosystem.
We’ll cover:

• What Heroku actually is (and isn’t)
• How apps run on dynos, pipelines, and add-ons
• Real-world use cases you can understand without a CS degree
• Why developers love it and executives trust it
• What future meetups, office hours, the Beta Tester Program, and the Zero to Heroku study group will look like

Whether you’re technical, non-technical, or somewhere in the middle, this session will give you a clear understanding of why Heroku matters — and why the Dallas community is rallying around it.
