> When Salesforce bought Heroku back in 2011, it was pretty clear Heroku would become yet another dead product that once was an absolute great piece of software.

That feels like a angsty-tinted view. I recall the day it happened. The Ruby dev shop I was at was optimistically nervous. As Heroku had been a shiny new thing and only deployed Ruby. Acquisition allowed them to expand and support other languages. They didn't even have pipelines!
