Heroku CEO Bob Wise departs


Bob Wise, the CEO of Heroku, Salesforce's cloud platform as a service, has left.

The platform allows programmers to build, run, and scale apps across a number of programming languages, including Java, PHP, Scala, and Go. Under Salesforce — and Wise’s — management, the platform has faced with a number of setbacks, including a significant security intrusion where attackers were able to obtain an access token for a Heroku account that was used for automation purposes. The competition for platform as a service has grown fiercer in recent years, with startups like Porter, Railway, Render, Fly.io, and Clever Cloud vying for a slice of Heroku’s business with compelling pricing and features.
