Overview

iBirds offers custom Heroku consulting services focused on integrating Salesforce and Heroku to create scalable, secure, and efficient cloud-native applications. Their services emphasize data synchronization, especially via Heroku Connect, managed runtime operations, and enterprise-grade security and support. iBirds helps design bespoke integration architectures using REST APIs, Heroku Postgres, Heroku Redis and other Heroku platform capabilities so Salesforce deployments and Heroku apps work together reliably at scale.

Features and Capabilities

• Integration & Data Sync: Heroku Connect setup and management to replicate and synchronize Salesforce objects with Heroku Postgres for bidirectional, near-real-time data flow.
• Runtime Management: Managed Heroku runtime support covering orchestration, dyno management, load balancing, logging, configuration and app lifecycle operations.
• Platform Services: Use of Heroku services such as Heroku Postgres (SQL), Heroku Redis, add-ons, buildpacks, and GitHub integration to accelerate deployments and extend functionality.
• Scalability & Performance: Vertical and horizontal scaling approaches for dynos, performance monitoring, and capacity planning to support both small projects and enterprise workloads.
• Security & Compliance: Enterprise-grade security practices for integration points and data handling, including secure API usage and operational controls during deployments.
• Custom Interfaces & UX: Development of custom user interfaces that surface Salesforce data via Heroku-hosted applications to deliver tailored user experiences.
• External Processing & Batch Offload: Architectures to offload heavy processing, analytics, or data science tasks to Heroku apps to reduce load on primary Salesforce orgs.
• Integration Methods: REST API callouts, Salesforce Connect patterns, and custom adapters for robust integration depending on latency and consistency requirements.
• Monitoring & App Measurements: Implementation or guidance on app monitoring (CPU, memory, response times, throughput) so teams observe app health and performance.
• Deployment Practices: Git/GitHub-driven deployment flows, use of Heroku Pipelines/Review Apps and rollback strategies to support safe continuous delivery.
