Cloud platform for building Pythonic apps and APIs
The platform for Python that just works
Powerful Ecosystem
Build opinionated MVC web apps with Django, powerful APIs with FastAPI, or process background jobs with Celery. Run your apps with Gunicorn, Uvicorn, or any other ASGI/WSGI server – the choice is yours!
Fast Deploys
Deploy from Git, your CI system, or on every push to a branch on GitHub. Dependency installs are always consistent with your local environment thanks to transparent support for pip freeze.
Easy Scaling
Heroku’s stateless architecture is ideal for horizontal scaling of services. Issue a command or drag a slider to add capacity. Using larger dynos? Gunicorn will auto-adjust the number of worker processes it spawns.

Heroku gives you simple, easy ways to…
Be in the Flow
Collaborating easily, testing early, and deploying often are all part of Heroku Flow: Heroku Pipelines streamline your workflow, Heroku Review Apps auto-deploy your PRs, Heroku CI tests anything you push to GitHub, and much more.
Architect and scale
The Heroku runtime makes it easy to deploy loosely coupled services that run in lightweight, isolated Linux containers known as dynos. The architecture of the Heroku platform encourages best practices that ensure durability and scalability.
Extend and grow
Extend your app with relational databases like PostgreSQL or MySQL, leverage NoSQL data stores such as Redis® or MongoDB, stream events into Apache Kafka or an AMQP server, send emails, monitor your app – with 200+ add-ons, the possibilities are limitless.
Python on Heroku
“As the Zen of Python says, ‘Simple is better than complex’, and that’s what it’s like deploying Python applications to Heroku.”
