Salesforce Shelves Heroku (heroku.com) 3
Salesforce is essentially shutting down Heroku as an evolving product, moving the cloud platform that helped define modern app deployment to a "sustaining engineering model" focused entirely on stability, security and support.
Existing customers on credit card billing see no changes to pricing or service, but enterprise contracts are no longer available to new buyers. Salesforce said it is redirecting engineering investment toward enterprise AI.

Did salesforce swoop in and save them or something?

No, Saleforce degraded their service as soon as they took over. It's been a slow death ever since.
If Salesforce is not extracting a pound of flesh every year from each customer they have, they're not happy.

yes. Heroku has become very expensive. I migrated a few of our services to a native EC2 box for 75% cost reduction within the last year.
I still only have a handful there for a services there where it is a bit harder to migrate because we did our setup stupidly. (We put the heroku domain name in client installations that are harder to upgrade.) But we'll bite the bullet and migrate out this year I would assume.
