Heroku uptime
Measured from multiple regions every 6 hours. Percentages count only checks that returned an availability answer — 11 days measured so far. A dash means that window does not yet hold enough measured days to publish a figure.

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.
What Heroku does
Heroku is a platform-as-a-service, owned by Salesforce, that runs applications from a git push without the operator managing servers. Its status page groups everything into three systems: Apps, covering running dynos and the router; Data, covering Heroku Postgres, Redis and Kafka; and Tools, covering the CLI, dashboard and build pipeline.
What an outage looks like
Deployed applications return H-series router errors, most often H10 app crashed, H12 request timeout or H99 platform error, which appear in the Heroku logs rather than in application code. Builds queue without starting, or fail at the release phase. Database-backed pages break while static routes still answer, which points at Data rather than Apps.
What to do about it
Read status.heroku.com and note which of the three systems is affected, because Apps, Data and Tools fail independently: a Tools incident blocks deploys while running applications serve traffic normally. Do not roll back a release to fix an H99, which is a platform error rather than a fault in your code. Heroku exposes the same state as JSON at status.heroku.com/api/v4/current-status.
Is it down for everyone, or just you?
If this page says Heroku is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from all 18 regions to find out where it breaks.

How we measure this
- We request Heroku's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — 8 of them answered the most recent check.
- A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A
403or429means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage. - A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
- Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
- Where Heroku publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
